Match each supplied equivalence to the correct conversion.
Answer
1 teaspoon - 5 mL; 1 cup - 240 mL; 1 inch - 2.5 cm; Fahrenheit to Celsius - $C = (F - 32)\times 5/9$
Explanation
### The pairs
| Item | Matches | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 teaspoon | 5 mL | This is the volume equivalence supplied in the material. |
| 1 cup | 240 mL | This is the cup-to-millilitre equivalence supplied in the material. |
| 1 inch | 2.5 cm | This is the length equivalence supplied in the material. |
| Fahrenheit to Celsius | $C = (F - 32)\times 5/9$ | Subtract 32 and multiply by $5/9$ to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius. |
### The concept
The first three pairs are stated conversion factors. The temperature pair is a formula rather than a direct unit ratio. In either case, use the relationship in the direction that converts the given quantity into the requested unit.
### Terms
- **Millilitre (mL)**: a metric unit of volume.
- **Centimetre (cm)**: a metric unit of length.
- **Fahrenheit (°F)**: a temperature scale.
- **Celsius (°C)**: a temperature scale.
### Remember
Check both the starting unit and the target unit before choosing a conversion relationship.
