(to convert one unit to another requires a factor that relates the
2 forms. For example, to change a measurement of length from
ft to in, we must know how many inches are in a foot. In this
case, we are asked to convert cm per sec to mph. Therefore,
we require 2 pieces of information: the relationship b/t seconds
and hours (relating one unit of time to another) and the
relationship b/t miles and cm (related one unit of distance to
another). When units are changed, the actual amount does not
change. For example, 10 dimes provides the same purchasing
power as 4 quarters. The units may be different but the total
price remains the same. )
