Answer:

We can convert any measuring unit to another by multiplying it by a very special ratio (or ratios) that equals ONE. We can form these special ratios from the conversion factors. For example, 1 ft = 12 in is a conversion factor, and we can write from it the ratios 1 ft/12 in and 12 in/1 ft, which both equal 1.
