Answer:
A conversion factor is a variable that transforms the dimension of one variable into the terms of another variable.
Explanation:
Let be [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] two variables with diferent dimensions (units), [tex]r[/tex] is a conversion if transforms the dimension of one variable into the terms of the other variable. That is:
[tex]y = r\cdot x[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex]x[/tex] - Input, [input unit]
[tex]y[/tex] - Output, [output unit]
[tex]r[/tex] - Conversion factor, [output unit] per [input unit]
