Scale+(including+unit+conversion)

= By MacGyver Hay = = Conversions are used when converting one type of unit to a different type. You can convert inches to feet, feet to meters and many other things. You can even convert money from dollars to euros or euros to pesos! =

= The first step to converting is you have to find out how much of unit 1 into unit 2. In this case, unit 1 is inches and unit 2 is feet. How many inches are there in a foot? there are 12. = = = = step 2 is you have to either multiply or divide the original number to get to the new number or converted number. Lets say it is 36 inches equals how many feet? to do this you would have to divide 36 inches by 12 because inches is smaller than feet. =.

= your final answer will be 3 Feet = = That is how you convert units. = =  = = Scale is a little different. When you try to find the scale of something, it is either a smaller or bigger model of the object in real life. for example, if you were looking at a map and every inch was 10 miles, the scale of the map is 1:10. if you live 4 inches away from Atlantic city on the map, you would live 40 miles away in real life. I got 40 because if every inch is 10 miles, and i am 40 inches away, i multiply 4 by 10. =
