• 1 cm= ____ mm
• ______ cm = 1 inch
• 1 kilometer (km)= _____ miles (mi)

Answer 1

• 1 m= 100 cm
• 1m= 1000 cm
• 1 m= 39.4 in.
• 1 m. = 1.09 yd
• 1 cm= 10 mm
• 2.54 cm= 1 in.
• 1 km= 0.621 mi

Question 2

VOLUME:

• 1 Liter (L) = _____ quarts (qt)
• 1 L= ______ milliliters (mL)
• 1 L= ____ deciliters (dL)
• 1 dL= _____ mL
• _______ mL= 1 qt.
• 1 cubic centimeter (cm^3 OR cc)= ___ mL

Answer 2

• 1 L= 1.06 qt
• 1 L= 1000 mL
• 1 L- 10 dL
• 1 dL= 100 mL
• 946 mL= 1 qt
• 1 cm^3 (cc)= 1 mL

Question 3

MASS:

• 1 kilogram (1 kg)= _______ grams (g)
• 1 kg= _____ pounds (lb)
• ______ g= 1 lb
• 1 g= ____ milligrams (mg)
• 1 mg= ______ micrograms (µg)

Answer 3

• 1 kg= 1000g
• 1 kg= 2.20 lb.
• 454 g= 1 lb
• 1 g= 1000 mg
• 1 mg= 1000 µg

Question 4

TEMPERATURE:

• 180 F degrees= ______ degrees C
• what is the temperature equation to convert degrees F to degrees C?
• what is the temperature equation to convert degrees C to degrees F?
• 1 K = ____ degree C
• what is the temperature equation to convert degrees C to K?

Answer 4

• 180 F= 100 C
• TC= TF- 32/ 1.8
• TF= 1.8 (TC) + 32
• 1 K = 1 degree C
• TK= TC + 273

Question 5

U.S. LENGTH:

• 1 ft = ___ in.
• 1 yd= ___ ft
• 1 mi= _____ ft

Answer 5

• 1 ft= 12 in.
• 1 yd= 3 ft
• 1 mi= 5280 ft

Question 6

U.S. VOLUME:

• 1 qt= ____ pints (pt)
• 1 gal= ____ qt

Answer 6

• 1 qt= 4 cups
• 1 qt= 2 pt
• 1 gal= 4 qt

Question 7

U.S. MASS:

• 1 lb= ____ ounces (oz)

Answer 7

• 1 lb= 16 oz

Question 8

When a PERCENT (%) is given in a problem, it means _______________

Answer 8

… parts per 100 parts.

It expresses the numerical relationship of the parts of a particular unit to 100 parts of the whole.

Ex: 18% body fat by mass

18 kg of body fat = 100 kg of body mass

Question 9

UNITS OF ENERGY:

• 1 calorie (cal)= ______ J (exact)
• 1 kcal= _______ cal
• 1 kJ= ________ J

Answer 9

• 1 cal = 4.184 J
• 1 kcal= 1000 cal
• 1kJ= 1000 J

Question 10

SPECIFIC HEAT (SH)
* definition

• how it is written
• how to write calculations using SH

Answer 10

Specific Heat (SH) is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of exactly 1g of a substance by exactly 1 degree C.

This temperature change is written as ∆T, where the delta symbol means “a change in”.
SH= heat/grams x ∆T = J (or cal)/ 1g x 1 ^oC

How to write calculations:
Heat = mass x ∆T x SH

Question 11

ENERGY AND NUTRITION:

• 1 Cal = ___ kcal = ______ cal
• 1 Cal = _____ kJ = _______ J
• how many kJ/g and kcal/g in carbohydrates, proteins and fats?

Answer 11

1 Cal = 1 kcal = 1000 cal

1 Cal = 4.184 kJ = 4184 J

Carbohydrates- 17 kJ/g; 4 kcal/g
Proteins- 17 kJ/g; 4 kcal/g
Fats- 38 kJ/g; 9 kcal/g
