Since this chapter deals with unit conversion and we are relating things to the real world, I picked something that I use almost everyday. I chose my tennis racquet because I just had to resting it and there are many unit conversions on it. It converts length, weight, and tension from the standard system to the metric system. This is very useful because tennis players come from all over the world not just the United States. So having the metric system units helps many people when the play tennis. Also in the pros they measure how fast your serve goes in kilometers and then they convert it to miles per hour.
wow thats pretty mean.. i didn't know tennis racquets had unit conversions on the handle
