... just my 2 cents,


Never encountered a Yard problem which requires unit conversion in OG or GMATPREP. In other instances (as in ps 65) the conversions were mentioned explicitly.

If a conversion involves distances/lengths, the relationship will be given.
However, if a conversion involves time (e.g., hours to seconds), the relationship will not be given.

Cheers,
