Dimensional Analysis

A method used to convert units. It also uses "conversion factors".

wk->days->hours->minutes->seconds 1 wk=7 days; 1 day=24hr; 1 hr= 60min; 1min=60sec Work: 1.50/1 x 7 days/1 wk x 24hr/1day x 60 min/1hr x 60sec/1min = 907,000 sec.

How many seconds are in a 1.50 weeks?

True

True or False? Follow the rule of sig figs when making calculations with 2 or more steps.
