What is Conversion between metric units?
he
I, Mr.Gumpert, want to become famous. I want my dog Aria to be
famous too. This is what I am going to do:
• I am going to create a new unit of measurement for length
called gumps (gp) and
• another unit of measurement for volume called arias (ar)
So that people can become accustomed to these new units I have
included conversion factors for the soon to be obsolete metric &
imperial systems here.
1gp = 5.896ft = 1.797m
1kgp = 1.117 miles = 1.797km
Part A: Core Understanding
A1 Perform the following unit conversions, rounding to two decimal places.
Show your work.
50ft³ =

bonus
1ar = 12.21 = 12200ml = 12200cm³
1ar = 2.68gal = 744.49 in³
1250 kgp =
20 gal =
37 gp² =
2 gp³=
gp³ (cubic ft →→ cubic gumps)
km (kilogumps → kilometers)
(gallons → arias)
ar (gallons
m² (sqr gumps
ar (cubic gumps →→ aria)
→ sqr meters)
