If you are traveling to nevada and it takes 458.2 miles to get there from Coalinga, how fast will you need to drive to get there in 620 minutes?
Suppose you have a car which gets 51 miles per gallon of gasoline in the city. Suppose you take the car to Canada. Then you fill it up at a gas station in Canada. How many kilometers should the car be able to drive on city streets on 1.7 liters of gasoline? (Note: 1 mile = 1.609 km, 1 gallon = 3.78541 L)
Dimensional Analysis is a way of doing numerical "book-keeping"
when converting quantities or performing calculations.
• When converting quantities from one unit to another,
conversion factors are used.
Solving with Dimensional Analysis and Multiple Units:
If I am in Canada where the price of gas is $1.022 USD·L1, how
much will it cost me to fill up my gas tank if I travelled 125 km?
• Let's also assume that my car gets
an average of 30.0 miles/gallon.
