Area 2 MUST DO Option C | Metric Conversions & Dimensional Analysis | MAFS.912.N-Q.1.1 · N-Q.1.3
The Scenario: The equipment cabinet is locked and you have clues to crack. Each lock needs a 3-digit code that only a correct unit conversion will reveal. Solve each conversion, build the code exactly as the clue describes, and unlock all five locks. When all five are open you will read the five-number combination to your teacher to unlock the cabinet.
0 / 5 locks unlocked Start: 15:00
Type your conversion chain (factors as fractions, units canceling) before entering each code. The code checker only accepts the code once you have written a chain. Press Enter in a code box to try it.
Convert 450 mm to meters. Code = the value in meters shown as 0.xxx — write the three digits after the decimal.
Convert 0.250 L to milliliters. Code = the whole-number value.
Convert 12 cm to millimeters. Code = the whole-number value.
A car travels 65 km/h. Convert to m/s. Code = the meters part ONLY, rounded to 2 significant figures, written as a 3-digit number (add a leading zero if needed).
Convert 9000 mg to grams. Code = the value in grams written as a 3-digit number (add leading zeros if needed).
🎉 You unlocked all five locks — the equipment cabinet is open!
Read this five-number combination (LOCK 1 → LOCK 5) to your teacher to receive credit.
Reflection (turn in with your codes): Which lock was the easiest to set up wrong, and what clue (unit size) helped you catch it? Write two sentences about the trick to building a conversion factor correctly.
After completing the escape room, record your codes and reflection to turn in, per your teacher's instructions.
