Units of measure - EdexcelConverting units of speed, density and pressure
Units of measurement let us describe and compare length, weight, area, volume, density and other values. Units can be imperial or metric and they can be converted using conversion factors.
Speed, density and pressure are examples of compound measures which means they are made up of two or more other measures. For example, speed is made up of distance and time.
To convert the units of compound measures, convert the individual units separately.
Example
The maximum speed of a racing car is 340 km/h. Convert this speed into m/s (give the answer to one decimal place).
