Temperature and Time Unit
What are the standard units for measuring time?
1 minute = 60 seconds 1 hour = 60 minutes = 3,600 seconds 1 day = 24 hours = 1,440 minutes 1 week = 7 days = 168 hours 1 year ≈ 52 weeks ≈ 365 days
What are the steps used to determine elapsed time?
1. 12:00 PM (noon) is the separation point between AM and PM. 2. Determine how much time elapsed before 12:00 PM: 3. Determine how much time elapsed after 12:00 PM: Add #1 and #2: 4. Identify the answer:
Convert 100°F to Celsius.
37°C
Convert 22°C to Fahrenheit.
71.6°F
How is standard time converted to military time?
AM hours are expressed with the same numbers as standard time. - 2:00 AM = 0200 - 7:15 AM = 0715 - 11:30 AM = 1130 PM hours are converted from standard time to military time by adding 1200. - 1:00 PM = 0100 + 1200 = 1300 - 6:30 PM = 0630 + 1200 = 1830 - 10:05 PM = 1005 + 1200 = 2205
What are the steps for adding time?
Add the minutes Add the hours If needed, convert any improper measurements. Identify the answer: The patient spent 3 hours and 5 minutes in therapy this week
What are the steps for subtracting time?
Subtract the minutes Subtract the hours Identify the answer
What is the boiling point of water in Fahrenheit and Celsius?
in Fahrenheit the boiling point is 212° and in Celsius the boiling point is 100°.
What is the equation to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius?
°C = (°F - 32) ÷ 1.8
What is the equation to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit?
°F = (°C × 1.8) + 32
What is the freezing point of water in Fahrenheit and Celsius?
On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point is 32°, On the Centigrade scale, the freezing point is 0°
What are the two scales used to measure temperature and where are they used?
In the United States, temperature is usually measured on the Fahrenheit scale. However, in many parts of the world, the Centigrade system is used. The Centigrade, or Celsius, scale is used frequently in medical facilities.
