Dimensional Analysis (unit conversion) 12 in = 12 in 1 ft _ 1 ft 1 ft _ = 1 = 12 in 12 in 12 in UNIT EQUATION 12 in 12 in = 1 ft 1 ft 12 in = = 1 1 ft 1 ft 1 ft Conversion between feet and inches can be written either: 1 ft _ 12 in OR 12 in 1 ft
Dimensional Analysis (unit conversion) The Goal: Convert one unit to another How: Use conversion factors Use them so that 1 ft _ 12 in OR 12 in 1 ft Unit you want to keep ____________________ Unit you want to cancel
Dimensional Analysis (unit conversion) How many feet are in 51.5 inches? 1 ft _ 12 in 1 ft = 12 in OR 12 in 1 ft
