Units - Conversion (2 Ratios) - Word Problem to Conversion Ratio (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on practicing unit conversions involving two different ratios to solve word problems. Examples include converting eagle dive speeds from yards per second to feet per minute, as well as computing the time a worm or caterpillar takes to travel distances using different time units and lengths (yards, feet, minutes, and seconds). Students need to select the correct conversion ratio based on the units presented in the question to compute the desired output. These problems help in reinforcing the application of dimensional analysis and conversion factors in practical scenarios.
