Find a newspaper article that converts measurement at some point in the article. Show the calucatlation that are neaded to convert the measurement and indicate weather the publisghed reslts appear tio have been calucatedm correctly.
The published results in the article have beeen calculated corectly, however, the results is wrong. The wrong results can be attributed to the fact that the article final steps in the question have been concantated.ths means the there are section of the conversion factors that were left out for the ease of conversion. This was done to enable the conversion have an easy time converting the final result (Kreswell, 2002).
Write areport about kelvin, fahrenheit, and celcius temperature scales why each is used and why we have a diferent temperature scales.be sure to include how these diferentr systems affect the values of the community and respect.
Fahrenheit is majorly used for recording the surface temperatures measurement. This is mainly used in the US by meteorologists. However, a large portion of the world’s population is conversant with the use of Celsius which was initially developed in the 17th century. This forces the meteorologists to convert the measurement to a standard unit that can be used by everyone. This involves the conversion from Fahrenheit to degree Celsius. Kelvin is mainly used in scientific experiments, and is also applicable in scientific calculators as it starts from the absolute zero,
Celsius to Kelvin: K= ͦᴄ+273
Kelvin, fahrenheit and celcius are the main conversion and measutrements units for temperature. However, they very in the values used based on the conversion factors used. However, these names are just compledx and may scare people, the conversion process need not be that complicated. For example to convert fahrenheit to celcius, one can start be deducting 32 from the fahrenheit termaprature, to get the conversion factor than multiply the reulting figure by 5 and finaly devide the result by a value such as 9 to derive the celcuius temperature.
On the other hand, one can easily get the Fahrenheit temperature from the Celsius temperature by first multiplying the Celsius temperature by a figure such as 9, and then resulting figure is divided by 5. And finally the result after the operation is added to 32to get the Fahrenheit temperature required.

These values changes the way people reason, for example, if one qouted the fahrenheit outside the americas, it will be a new concept and many are not conversent with it. Additionaly. The fahrenheit is not widely used (Kreswell, 2002).
Compare and contrast metric and english measyrement systems. Also include, where each iusn used and why we have difFerent measurememt systems. What reason might e given for continuing to use the the english systems
Compare
The two systems are both used for measuring volume, distance, mass, and temperature. They are both accurate with negligible variation.
Contrast
The metric system is much easier tom use as it is specific to a unit for example volume, for capacity. The English system is complicated as one unit can be used to refer to number of measurement. For example, the ounce can be used to refer to volume, quart or pounds.
Relevance of English measurement
The English measurement will only be used a different measures especially when we want to have a single unit for measuring many values. However, it is rather illogical.
Compare and contrast conversion in linear measurement, area and volume measurement.
Compare
Linear measurement is used to measure the displacement in straight line
Area measurement- refers to the amount of space covered by a plane.
While volume is three dimensional space enclosed by a border line
Contrast
measurement formula Si unit
area Length X width unit²
volume Length X width X height Unit 3
Length displacement unit
Write a paper why every measurement has two parts
All measurement has two parts, for example every measurement has the numerical part which is also referred to as the factor and the other part is the dimension also called the unity. This is useful for showing what is measured and the quantity measured. For example: 2 meters. Two is the factor, meters is the unit of measurement.

ABSTRACT Example
Abstract: the narrative should be a succinct, non-technical description of the article. It must not exceed 150 words, typed double spaced, and should be so clearly written that the following questions could be answered by a member of the general public who reads it:
Paragraph (a): What is the specific purpose of this article? What information is being conveyed?
Paragraph (b): How is the research conducted? [A non-technical description of the general methodology used (i.e. narrative, exploratory, quantitative, etc.). Should include notification of target group.]
Paragraph c): What differences might the article make? — to whom? (What might we know or be able to do as a result of this work that we do not know or cannot do now? To whom will this be important?) It is important that the abstract shows justification for the research in terms of its implications for budgeting.

Slide 1: Definition of Business Concepts
At the beginning of the course, I understood business as a process of exchanging goods and services with the aim of earning profit. Through this course, my comprehension of business has changed from just a process which does not only involve the exchange of goods and services. In this business has come out as an aspect that requires planning and laying of strategies to overcome the competitive forces of the free market (Stiglitz, 2015).
Slide 2: Definition of Business Concepts
Ideally, in this course, I understood business as a single-tier aspect involving general stakeholder analysis. However, this course has explicitly outlined to me that stakeholder analysis is a vital aspect that allows the business to understand and protect the interest of people who are influenced or influence decisions made in the business (Corporateethics, 2009). Ideally, the role of the government in business has been outlined to be laying out a regulatory framework to ensure fair competition and genuineness of products sold.
Slide 3: Definition of Business Concepts
Consumer behaviour as a business principle indicates why consumers make certain choices for products they purchase for consumption. For this reason, businesses have to understand the consumer decision-making process for them to understand consumer behaviours. Ideally, companies also ought to conduct an internal analysis to identify the strengths and weakness of the business (Corporateethics, 2009).
Slide 4: Business Environment
This is composed of external or internal factors which have a collective impact on business performance. Throughout this course, I have understood that external factors also influence how business organization functions. The business environment is also composed of microenvironment and microenvironment (Stiglitz, 2015).
Slide 6: Lessons relation to the Present and Future.
Lessons learnt throughout this course are helpful to my present and future career path. In the present, the knowledge I have acquired allows me to comprehend the fact that business is more than a collection of activities aimed at making profits. In the future, the knowledge that I have acquired in this course will allow me to effectively plan and strategize for my business as well as perform a stakeholder analysis. By understanding the concept of business environment, I can effectively understand the various aspects that have a collective impact on business performance and functioning of the business.
Slide 7: Reflective Business Practice
In this course, we learnt on the concept of reflective business practice which allows business practitioners to apply critical thinking and evaluation of one’s actions with an aim to continuously learn and develop professionally. By studying, the deeper contexts of this concept, I will be able to create platforms for my business to grow as well as improve my profession based on the reflections and critical evaluation of my actions.
Slide 8: Applying Concepts in the Future.
Having gone through this course, I have acquired knowledge of the business environment and other essential business concepts. Through this, I will apply this knowledge to perform stakeholder analysis, business environment scanning, complying to the existing government regulations and managing my workforce. Ideally, I will also use the knowledge acquired to perform consumer behaviour analysis. All these aspects will be aimed at boosting the business-stakeholder relationship and the overall business performance.
Slide 9: Professional Development Outside Formal Studies
Outside the formal learning environment, I will use various platforms that will help me professionally develop myself. Such platforms include special business projects, community involvement, job rotation at the work place and use of groups such as committees and peer groups.
