Formula:
The general formula for unit conversion involves multiplying the initial value by a ratio of equivalent units:
Valuenew = Valueold × (Conversion Factor)
Where:
- Valueold is your initial measurement.
- Conversion Factor is the ratio that converts from the old unit to the new unit (e.g., 1000 mg / 1 g).
- Valuenew is the converted measurement in the desired unit.
For temperature conversions, specific formulas are used (e.g., °C to K: TK = T°C + 273.15).
