Dimensional Analysis Problem Solving
Goals:• under standing what equals, “=“ , means;
the equal sign means “the same as”;• identifying conversion “equivalent” statements
used in Factor-Label Method Approach to Dimensional Analysis Problem Solving

Factor Label Method supplemental packet page 21
Based on the following mathematical principles:1. Multiplying any quantity by 1 does not change its value:
4 cents x 1 = 4 cents 3 cm x 1 = 3 cm
2. Dividing any quantity by itself is equal to 1.
3. Any two quantities that are equal to one another, when made into afraction give 1.
4 = 4 ∴ 4/4 = 1
1 foot = 12 inches ∴
44 _________ = 1
Z cmZ cm _________ = 1= 1 _________ 3 apples
3 apples= 1= 1 _________ 12 inches
1 foot12 inches1 foot _________ and
The basic idea is that multiplying a quantity times a fraction(or several fractions) that equal one does not change the value of the quantity but may change the units that express the quantity.

Writing metric equivalent statements:1. Always make the metric prefix equal to the numerical value of thefundamental unit:
2. The above equivalent statements can lead to either of two conversionfactors:
1 mg = 10–3 g 1 kg = 103 g 10–3 g 1 mg _________ _________
1 mg 10–3 goror 103 g
1 kg _________ _________ 1 kg
103 g
3. Which conversion factor shall we use? The one that cancels theunwanted labels (units) and gives the desired label.Example : Convert 50 grams to milligrams: x kg = 50 g
NOT
5 x 10–2 kgx kg = 50 g 103 g1 kg _________ x =
1 kg g 25 x 104=xx kg = 50 g
103 g1 kg
