Unit of measurement, a punk/disco band, was signed up to play a benefit concert for new years eve. They started at 6:00pm on new years eve and managed to play until 9:00am. The morning of january 2, interestingly, they are paid by the minute so they need to know how long they plaid in minutes. Which type of problem best exemplifies this question?

Unit Conversion

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, the band has calculated the total time that they played in Hours but the payment itself is calculated in minutes and therefore needs to change hours to minutes to correctly calculate how much they need to get paid. This type of problem is known as Unit Conversion because you are changing/converting one type of unit into another by either multiplying or dividing one by the correct ratio in order to get the desired unit.
