Conversion Graphs

This document discusses conversion graphs and their use in converting between different units of measurement. It provides examples of constructing conversion graphs between currencies, distances, weights, and other units. It then gives practice problems applying these graphs, such as converting distances and currencies using the appropriate conversion rates. The goal is to demonstrate how to read conversion graphs and use them to perform unit conversions between various systems of measurement.
