Complex measurement and simple measurement

The one that includes more than one type of unit is known as complex measurement.

Example

2 23 12

2h 23min 12s

The simple measurement is the one that uses only one type of unit.

Example

2,25 hours

135 minutes

If, for example, we want to convert 2h 23min 12s into seconds, it is necessary to use the conversion factors to find all three values in seconds, and finally add them up.

2h60min1h60s1min=7.200s

23min60s1min=1.380s

12s

7.200+1.380+12=8.592s

Converting from simple measurement to complex measurement

Two cases will be analyzed:

1.- Converting from minor units in to higher units: 7.523 seconds into seconds, minutes and hours.

In this case, it will be necessary to divide by 60 twice.

7523|6023125|6052

7523=2 5 23

2.- Converting to lower units: 3,38 hours to seconds, minutes and hours.

In this case it will be necessary to multiply by 60.

3,38h{3h0,3860=22,8min22,8min

22,8min{22min0,860=48s

Namely,

3,38h=3h 22 48
