(a) Interpretation: The equivalency and both conversion factor a) hours and days is to be stated. Concept introduction: Equivalency is defined as the two quantities that are equivalent in value. For example: 0.025 furlong is equal to 1 rod. In this case, furlong and rod represent the same physical length but expressed in various units. When an equivalency is denoted as a fractional value it is called ‘conversion factor’. Moreover, two conversion factors result from each equivalency.

Expert Solution
Answer to Problem 20E
The equivalency of a) hours and days is 24hour=1day
Conversion factor of a) hours and days is given by;
24 hour1day and 1day24 hour
Explanation of Solution
The two quantities that are equivalent in value is denoted as equivalence. For example: 0.025 furlong is equal to 1 rod. In this case, furlong and rod represent the same physical length but expressed in various units. When an equivalency is denoted as a fractional value it is called ‘conversion factor’. Moreover, two conversion factors result from each equivalency.
0.025 furlong = 1 rod (and)0.025 furlong1 rod (and) 1 rod0.025 furlong...(1)
In the expression (1), the conversion factor 1 rod / 0.025 furlong is used to convert a length expressed in furlongs to a length expressed in rods. Two variable, x and y are directly proportional if there is a non-zero constant k which connect them in the form of y=kx. Besides, the relationship is expressed as y α x. In the expression the symbol α is called as ‘is proportional to’.
A proportionality constant, m is inserted to convert a proportionality into an equality. Such as,
y = m⋅x...(2)
Given expression;
a) hours and days
Based on the above discussion the equivalency and conversion factors are states as follows;
The equivalency of a) hours and days is 24hours=1day
Conversion factor of a) minutes and seconds is given by;
24 hour1day and 1day24 hour
Conclusion
Thus, the equivalency and both conversion factor a) hours and days is stated.
