hey can any one tell me how to convert stuff like gallons to something? im having a hard time

OpenStudy (mathteacher1729):

http://www.wolframalpha.com type "Convert gallons to ounces" and it will do it automatically. Of course, to actually learn how to do it quickly by hand, you have to understand how we can use ratios and canceling like terms. :) Do you have a specific example or two to work on?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in one kilometer there is 1,000 meters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in one meter there is 100 centimeters

hello?

OpenStudy (mathteacher1729):

Hi. Yes, so far so good. 1 km = 1000 m 1 m = 100 cm So multiply 1000 x 100 and that's how many cm are in a km. :)
