Chapter 3, Problem 20E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The equivalency and both conversion factor a) hours and days is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Equivalency is defined as the two quantities that are equivalent in value. For example: 0.025 furlong is equal to 1 rod. In this case, furlong and rod represent the same physical length but expressed in various units. When an equivalency is denoted as a fractional value it is called ‘conversion factor’. Moreover, two conversion factors result from each equivalency.

Answer to Problem 20E

The equivalency of a) hours and days is 24 hour = 1 day

Conversion factor of a) hours and days is given by;

24 hour1day and 1day24 hour

Explanation of Solution

The two quantities that are equivalent in value is denoted as equivalence. For example: 0.025 furlong is equal to 1 rod. In this case, furlong and rod represent the same physical length but expressed in various units. When an equivalency is denoted as a fractional value it is called ‘conversion factor’. Moreover, two conversion factors result from each equivalency.

0.025 furlong = 1 rod (and)0.025 furlong1 rod (and) 1 rod0.025 furlong...(1)

In the expression (1), the conversion factor 1 rod / 0.025 furlong is used to convert a length expressed in furlongs to a length expressed in rods. Two variable, x and y are directly proportional if there is a non-zero constant k which connect them in the form of y = kx. Besides, the relationship is expressed as y α x. In the expression the symbol α is called as ‘is proportional to’.

A proportionality constant, m is inserted to convert a proportionality into an equality. Such as,

y = mx...(2)

Given expression;

a) hours and days

Based on the above discussion the equivalency and conversion factors are states as follows;

The equivalency of a) hours and days is 24 hours = 1 day

Conversion factor of a) minutes and seconds is given by;

24 hour1day and 1day24 hour

Conclusion

Thus, the equivalency and both conversion factor a) hours and days is stated.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The equivalency and both conversion factor b) gallons and quarts is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Equivalency is defined as the two quantities that are equivalent in value. For example: 0.025 furlong is equal to 1 rod. In this case, furlong and rod represent the same physical length but expressed in various units. When an equivalency is denoted as a fractional value it is called ‘conversion factor’. Moreover, two conversion factors result from each equivalency.

Answer to Problem 20E

The equivalency of b) gallons and quarts is 1 gallon = 4 quart

Conversion factor of b) gallons and quarts is given by;

1 gallon 4 quart and 4 quart 1 gallon 

Explanation of Solution

The two quantities that are equivalent in value is denoted as equivalence. For example: 0.025 furlong is equal to 1 rod. In this case, furlong and rod represent the same physical length but expressed in various units. When an equivalency is denoted as a fractional value it is called ‘conversion factor’. Moreover, two conversion factors result from each equivalency.

Given expression;

b) Gallons and quarts

Based on the above discussion the equivalency and conversion factors are states as follows;

The equivalency of b) gallons and quarts is 1 gallon = 4 quart

Conversion factor of b) gallons and quarts is given by;

1 gallon 4 quart and 4 quart 1 gallon 

Conclusion

Thus, the equivalency and both conversion factor b) gallons and quarts is stated.

Interpretation Introduction

Answer to Problem 20E

The equivalency of c) quarters and dollars is 1 quarter = 0.25 dollars

Conversion factor of c) quarters and dollars is given by;

1 quarters 0.25 dollars and 0.25 dollars 1 quarters

Explanation of Solution

The two quantities that are equivalent in value is denoted as equivalence. For example: 0.025 furlong is equal to 1 rod. In this case, furlong and rod represent the same physical length but expressed in various units. When an equivalency is denoted as a fractional value it is called ‘conversion factor’.
