This math topic focuses on practicing unit conversion through word problems involving rates and ratios. Students learn to convert speeds and time durations between different measurements of distance, primarily between yards and feet. The problems ask students to apply a given conversion ratio to calculate speeds such as feet per second from yards per second or the time in seconds to travel a certain distance in yards or feet. Each question provides scenarios involving crawling insects, requiring the student to understand and use the conversion concept practically.
