Question

Convert each of the measurements given to the new unit stated using the factor label method (dimensional analysis). Show all work including rewriting the given.
One step conversions:

26 cm to m ___________
4 hr to min ___________
3.25 km to m ___________
5 ft to in ___________

Answer 1

For cm to m, you need to divide by 100 to get m:
26cm/100= 0.26m

For hr to min, you need to multiply by 60 to get min:
4hr x 60= 240min

For km to m, you need to multiply by 1000 to get m:
3.25km x 1000= 3250m

For ft to in, you need to multiply by 12 to get in:
5ft x 12=60in

So we have:
0.26m
240min
3250m
60in
