Problem Solving and Dimensional Analysis
Problem: Suppose you have to pick up doughnuts on your way to school. You need 2 dozen for
the class, but you stop at a store that only sells by the doughnut.
How many do you get?
Problem: The cost of a jar of pickles is $2.06. You have $10.00. How many jars of piekles can
you pick up?
Both problems involve conversions.
Conversion factor- a ratio of the two parts of statement that relates the two units (= I)
Ex. 2.85 cm =? in
Ex. 1.12 in = ? cm
Converting from one step to another
Step 1 To convert from one unit to another, use the equivalence statement that relates the two
units. The conversion factor needed is a ratio of the two parts of the equivalence statement.
Step 2 Choose the appropriate factor by looking at the direction of the required change (Make
sure the unwanted units cancel).
Step 3 Multiple the quantity to be converted by the conversion factor give the quantity with the
desired units,
