What is a conversion factor?
A fraction that is equal to "1" is a conversion factor. The numerator and denominator are the same amount, but they are expressed in different units. It is used to change a number's unit of measurement. In order to do that, multiply the initial number by the fraction equal to "1"; this maintains the original number's value but modifies the units.
An athlete run at a rate of 309 yds. /min.
If one lap is 315 yard
Then total number of yards covered by the athlete is 5871.
I.e. 309 x 19 = 5871.
So total laps covered by the athlete in 19 minutes is
[tex]\frac{5871}{315}=18.63[/tex]
Hence, athlete covers 18.63 laps in 19 minutes
