Write a multiplication symbol and a fraction line 55mm x ----------. 3. Write the same unit as the number given in the denominator spot 55mm x -----------. mm.
This worksheet is intended to be used as a first assignment when teaching how to use the Factor Label Method (Dimensional Analysis) of unit conversions. Problems are basic to challenging. Answer key is included.
This worksheet is designed to help students practice and master the skill of unit conversion using the factor label method (also known as dimensional analysis). The factor label method is a systematic approach to converting between different units of measurement by using conversion factors.
The factor label method. • A way to solve math problems in chemistry. • Used to convert km to miles, m to km, mol to g, g to mol, etc. • To use this we need: 1) desired quantity, 2) given quantity, 3) conversion factors.
One page of unit conversion practice. Students exercise the factor label method with some real-world examples.
The purpose of these problems is not merely to get the right answer, but to practice writing out the dimensional analysis setup. We will be using this method all semester and I will be asking for your setups, so don’t just work out an answer on your calculator without writing out a setup.
