CONVERSIONS AND DIMENSIONAL A.K.A. Factor-Label ANALYSIS
CONVERSIONS Ratio of equivalent measurements
DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS WHAT IS IT? Converting a known quantity into an unknown quantity using conversion factors Using units to help you get to the answer Steps: What is the known/given quantity? What is the unknown quantity? What conversion factors do I know to help?
EXAMPLE How many yards are equivalent to 75 inches?
PRACTICE Convert 5.5 km to m. Convert 3.4 x107mg to kg.
COMPLEX CONVERSIONS Convert 75 m/sec to km/min. Convert 42.1 cm3 to m3.
PRACTICE WITH COMPLEX CONVERSIONS Convert 15 m/sec to km/hr. Convert 12 m3to mm3.
PRACTICE! Convert 43nm to km. Convert 31g/L to kg/cm3. Convert 40cm3 to m3.
