Page 1: Metric Conversions and Time-Distance Calculations

The page presents a detailed breakdown of metric unit conversions and time-distance calculations, with particular emphasis on kilometer to meter conversions and time-based problems.

Definition: A kilometer (km) is equal to 1000 meters (m), serving as the fundamental conversion factor for distance calculations.

Example: Converting 72 km to meters involves multiplying by 1000: 72 km × 1000 = 72,000 m

Highlight: Time conversions are shown using the relationship between hours, minutes, and seconds, where 1 hour = 3600 seconds and 1 minute = 60 seconds.

Vocabulary:

• Km (Kilometer): Base unit for measuring large distances
• m (meter): Standard unit of length measurement
• s (second): Base unit of time measurement
• min (minute): Time unit equal to 60 seconds

Example: A practical application shows converting 900 minutes to seconds: 900 min × 60 s/min = 54,000 seconds

The page also includes various other conversion factors and examples, demonstrating the relationship between different metric units and their practical applications in solving real-world problems involving distance, time, and speed calculations.
