Question

Using words, explain all steps of dimensional analysis when converting 6.7 hectometers to meters.

Answer 1

6.7 hectometers = 670 meters.

Solution:

Given 6.7 hectometers.

To convert hectometers into meters:

Conversion unit:

1 hectometer = 100 meters

We have 6.7 hectometers.

So multiply 6.7 by 100, we get

6.7 hectometers = 6.7 × 100 meters

                            = 670 meters

Hence 6.7 hectometers = 670 meters.
