Question
I want to know if there is a chart to go by to know how to convert metric systems and SI units for multistep conversion factors. I'm having trouble determining how to change them to a different one. For example kg/L into mL.

Although the preferred SI unit of area is the square meter, land is often measured in the metric system in hectares (ha). One hectare is equal to 10,000 m2. In the English system, land is often measured in acres (1 acre = 160 rod2). Use the exact conversions and those given in Exercise 47 to calculate the following. a. 1 ha = __________ km2 b. The area of a 5.5-acre plot of land in hectares, square meters, and square kilometers c. A lot with dimensions 120 ft by 75 ft is to be sold for 6500. What is the price per acre? What is the price per hectare?

Employ the method of dimensional analysis to convert 1 cubic yard to tonnes of water. Assume a density of water of 0.998 g/mL. To ensure that the question is marked as correct, arrange the units so that the top unit cancels with the bottom unit in the next step. Note that some of the quantities have been filled in for you.

You plot A vs Conc (mg/mL) for a set of 5 standards in mg/mL and get the equation for the line as 0.962=0.310x+0.315. Solve for x and report the results with correct units and sig-figs.
Is this question really just as simple as solving for x? I feel like I'm missing something here...
