B. Dimensional Analysis The “Factor-Label” Method= A method of using units (labels, dimensions) to analyze and solve word problems –Cancel out units (dimensions)!
7
B. Dimensional Analysis Steps: 1.Identify the final units of the answer (and necessary equalities) 2. Start by writing the given (magnitude and dimension) 3. Cancel units using conversion factor equalities (the numerator must equal denominator) 4. Multiply all top numbers & divide by each bottom number. (calculate the numbers!)
