Display how units are converted

Posted 1 year ago

Hi

I use quantities and UnitConvert in Mathematica. To better understand what happens in the conversions, I would love if Mathematica can somehow display the proces.

A simple example to clarify what I mean could be

UnitConvert[Quantity[1000, "Revolutions"/"Minutes"], 
 "Revolutions"/"Seconds"]

Does Mathematica have some kind of built-in function/command that displays the conversion in detail? As a student, I would expect this kind of feature could help me understand unit conversions deeper.

Thanks in advance.

It might help to look at the result of converting 1:

UnitConvert[Quantity[1, "Revolutions"/"Minutes"], "Revolutions"/"Seconds"]

Or maybe even more useful to look at the result with a symbolic value:

UnitConvert[Quantity[a, "Revolutions"/"Minutes"], "Revolutions"/"Seconds"]
