Introduction
Lesson 1 provided a review of the whole number system and discussed the
processes for solving machine shop work problems through addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions and decimals.
It
also discussed the conversion of decimals to fractions and fractions to
decimals.
To provide a complete coverage of machine shop calculations,
Lesson 2 will discuss the processes for converting linear measurements
between the English and metric systems, and for solving machine shop
problems involving the use of ratio, proportion, and trigonometry.
This
task will focus on the conversion of linear measurements from the English to
the metric system and from the metric to the English system.
