    The key takeaways from the passage are that dimensional analysis and the factor-label method can be used to convert between units by cancelling out units and using conversion factors. Examples were given to convert between kilometers and meters, centimeters and kilometers, grams and pounds, and gallons and liters.

    In the examples on page 1, units that were converted included: kilometers to meters, centimeters to kilometers, grams to pounds, and gallons to liters.

    In the examples on page 2, measurements that were converted included: grams to kilograms, kilometers to centimeters, milliliters to liters, feet and inches to centimeters, miles per hour to feet per second, miles to kilometers, degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit and Kelvin, meters to nanometers, microliters to liters, kilograms to pounds.

    CONVERSION OF UNITS

    Dimensional Analysis or Factor- Label Method


    - method that can be used in converting from one unit to another.
    - The process involves the cancellation of units other than the desired
    units through the use of fixed relationships (Conversion Factor).
    System of Measurement
    1. English
    2. Metric
    EXAMPLE:
    1. Convert 8.5 km railways to meters.
    1km = 1000m
    8.5 km x 1000m/1km = 8500 m
    2. How many km are there in 876 cm?
    1km = 1000 m
    1m = 100cm
    876 cm x 1m/100 cm x 1km/1000 m = 0.000876
    km
    3. Convert 35.6 g to lb.
    1kg = 1000 g
    1kg = 2.2 lb.
    35.6 g x 1 kg/1000 g x 2.2 lb./1kg = 0.078 lb. = 7.8
    x10 lb.
    4. Convert 4 gallons to liters.
    1 gal = 3.785 L
    4 gal x 3.785 L/1 gal = 15.14 L
