Factor Label/ Conversions/ Dimensional Analysis ORGANIZED APPROACH TO PROBLEM SOLVING USING UNITS
1. What unit do you need? 2. What information is given? 3. What conversion factors do you need? 3 QUESTIONS TO ANSWER
CONVERSION FACTOR: CONVERSION BETWEEN 1 UNIT AND ANOTHER; ANY TWO THINGS THAT ARE EQUAL. EX: 16 oz. = 1 lb 1 km = 1000 M 1.06 qt = 1 L
Look at the example: Ex: ? cm are there in 30 ft? ?cm = 30 ft 12 in 2.54 cm = 914.4 cm 1 1 ft 1 in What pattern do you notice?
? Units wanted = 1. ALWAYS START WITH "? units wanted”
? Units wanted = 2. Write Given quantity on top Given quantity
? Units wanted = 3. Write matching conversion factor on bottom of next parenthesis Given quantity Matching conversion factor
? Units wanted = Wanted unit of conversion factor 4. Put wanted unit of conversion factor on top! Given quantity Matching conversion factor
? Units wanted = Wanted unit of conversion factor 5. Multiply everything on top, and divide by everything on bottom! Given quantity Matching conversion factor *In calculator type: (multiply everything on top) / (multiply everything on bottom) = your answer with units wanted!
*You must have the same unit on top in the first parenthesis, as you do in the bottom of the next parenthesis!! *Diagonal Units: must cancel out! ? Units wanted = given quantity Units wanted Matching conversion factor: MUST be in SAME UNIT as your Given Quantity!!!!!!!!!!
? Units wanted = Units wanted! Given quantity Some unit • You can also do this with multiple conversion factors! Matching conversion factor Some unit conversion factor • Start with same steps as before, but your first conversion factor may not have the wanted unit on top. • You may need to use many conversion factors to get to the unit wanted!!
Always make sure that diagonal units cancel out!!! Lets do some examples!!!!!!!!!
Example Problems: • ? Seconds has a 16 year old lived • ? Lbs is a 200,000g sumo wrestler • ? Warps are there in 9x1012 wags 1 wag = 95 zooms 1000 warps = 1 dirg 67 zooms = 1 dirg • Jeff drove 2 x 103cm/sec to school, which is 9miles away. How many min did it take to get to school? 12in = 1ft 1in = 2.54cm 5280ft = 1mile • Susan drank 32 lbs of soda. If soda has a density of 0.999g/cm3, how many qts did she drink? 1 lb = 454g 1 cm3 = 1 mL 1 qt = 946 mL

MANY KIDS HAVE DROPPED OVER DEAD CONVERTING METRICS Now you create your own!!!
Write ? Unit looking for Write given quantity on top Use matching conversion factor: METRIC TO METRIC CONVERSION RULES:
3. Use matching conversion factor: • Place given unit on bottom • Place desired unit on top • Put a 1 in front of the bigger metric unit • Put a (+) positive power of 10 on the smaller metric unit METRIC TO METRIC CONVERSION RULES:
Cancel all diagonal units (except for the one you are looking for Multiply everything above the line and divide by everything below the line. METRIC TO METRIC CONVERSION RULES:
HINTS: 1. Go from given unit to base unit 2. Go from base unit to unit wanted 3. Always use a (+) positive exponent number 4. Put the (+) exponent number on the smaller unit METRIC TO METRIC CONVERSION RULES:
8 km = ______ cm ? cm =
8 km = ______ cm ? cm = 8 km
8 km = ______ cm 1000 m 8 km ? cm = 1 km
8 km = ______ cm 1000 m 8 km 100 cm ? cm = 1 km 1 m
8 km = ______ cm 8 km 1000 m 100 cm 1 km 1 m 800,000 cm 1 = ? cm =
EXAMPLE OF METRIC TO METRIC CONVERSIONS • ? cm are in 5km • ? ng are in 6.2 x 1012dg • ? hL are in 5mL?
2.54 cm = 1 inch 454 g = 1 lb. 1.06 qt. = 1 L METRIC - ENGLISH CONVERSIONS 3 1 mL = 1 cm
16 oz = 1 pound (lb) 12 in. = 1 ft 3 ft = 1 yd 4 qts = 1 gal 5280 ft = 1 mile ENGLISH CONVERSIONS
