This math topic focuses on unit conversion skills with a specific emphasis on converting units related to time and length. The problems require determining the correct conversion ratios such as converting seconds to minutes or feet to yards within the context of word problems. For example, learners need to calculate how long it takes for an ant or beetle to crawl a certain distance given a rate in different units. Each problem provides multiple answer choices represented by LaTeX expressions illustrating different conversion ratios, allowing learners to select the appropriate one for solving the problem.
