Conversions

Please convert the following units on a separate sheet of paper.  Use the factor label method as we did in class.  You must show your work, and make sure that you use a conversion grid.    Please use the following conversion factors:

1 year = 365 days

30 days = 1 month

1 foob = 32 weekers
