6 B. Dimensional Analysis  The “Factor-Label” Method  Units, or “labels” are canceled, or “factored” out

7 B. Dimensional Analysis  Steps: 1. Identify starting & ending units. 2. Line up conversion factors so units cancel. 3. Multiply all top numbers & divide by each bottom number. 4. Check units & answer.

8 B. Dimensional Analysis  Lining up conversion factors: 1 in = 2.54 cm 2.54 cm 1 in = 2.54 cm 1 in 1 in = 1 1 =
