I have no idea how to solve dimensional analysis problems. Is there a possibility to solve it on a ti calculator. For example, can i convert nm to meters, or cm to cubic decimeters. I know there is a unit converter on Ti. But, i have no idea how to do use it. Any help, would trully be really appreciated. God Bless You!Dimensional Analysis assistance?
the TI will be able to do the "number" portions of the analysis, but you first need to do the "dimensions" part of the analysis.
nm to m is just moving the decimal point to the left (not sure how many places at the mo').
cm cannot be changed to cubic decimeters, unless you mean cubic cm to cubic dm.
consider this...
1miles is how many cms?
1mi * 5280ft/mi * 12in/ft * 2.54cm/in
see how the mi's cancel out? see how then the ft cancel out? see how then the in's cancel out? you're left with cm.
so the answer is 1*5280*12*2.54 cm.
