Answer to Problem 72A

The size of the quantity must be true for a ratio of two measurements to be a conversion factor.

Explanation of Solution

An equivalent measurement ratio is referred to as a conversion factor.

In general, a measurement's numerical value changes when it is multiplied by a conversion factor, while the quantity being measured's real size stays the same.

Conversion factors are defined as precise quantities inside a system of measurement.

The size of the quantity remains the same for the conversion factor.
