Answer 6

Okay, I have the answer for question 1. I answered it myself. I actually didn't know what units meanth either @amistre64 . Here is what I said to my teacher:

"You can use units and convert them to understand and solve problems because there will be problems where they give you one thing with feet and the other with meters or vice versa, just to say an example. That is why it is also important to make sure to make them have the same unit."

Answer 7

a unit, refers to "1" of something, a unit of measurement would represent "1" handspan, "1" stick length, "1" hopping distance, "1" second ....

we can count the number of units of one element that it takes to complete a number of units of a different elements:

1 mile per 1 hour
1 meter per 1 second
1 heartbeat per 1 second

etc

Answer 8

it takes 3 feet to measure out 1 yard: the conversion factor we use is either 3 ft/yrd to convert yards to feet. Or, 1/3 yrds/ft to convert ft to yards

Answer 9

units of measure are chosen to make the "computations" simpler to perform. for example: inches is not a good unit of measure to determine large distances ... like miles
