Measurement Conversions

10) Which of the following is a unit rate?

11) Two ants at a picnic spy a tasty crumb of watermelon on the ground.  Ant A travels at a rate of 300 meters per hour.  Ant B travels at a rate of 250 inches per minute.  Which conversion factor is correct to change Ant A to the same rate as Ant B?

12) Which ant will get the watermelon crumb because it was traveling at a faster rate?

13) To convert miles per hour to feet per second, which conversion factor would NOT be used?

14)

Erin visits an amusement park in the USA with her family.  Erin is from London, England, where the metric system is used for measurement. She wants to ride the 300-foot-tall swing ride.  She notices the height requirement is 52 inches.  Erin’s height is 1.25 meters.  Determine the missing numbers in the conversion steps provided below to calculate the required minimum height in meters.  State the letter, and then the answer for the missing information in each part.

(Hint:  Use a search engine to find conversion factor for meters to feet, if necessary.)
