Understanding Corresponding Quantities: A Guide to Equivalent Units

Corresponding means something that is equal or equivalent in some way. In the context of your question, "corresponding" refers to the fact that the two quantities have the same numerical value, but are expressed in different units.

For example, if you have a quantity of apples and a quantity of oranges, and both quantities have the same number of items (e.g. 10 apples and 10 oranges), then the two quantities are corresponding because they have the same numerical value (10) even though they are expressed in different units (apples and oranges).

In more technical terms, correspondence refers to the idea that two things are related by a one-to-one mapping, where each element in one set is paired with exactly one element in the other set. In the case of units, this means that each unit in one system is paired with exactly one unit in another system, so that the two systems are equivalent in some sense.
