How to solve any problem involving conversion of units
Final Exam Review
1. First write down what you know.
2. Then write down what you are looking for.
3. In between them, write “x------- =”
4. On the bottom, write the units of what you know (not the number!).
5. On the top, write the units of what you are looking for.
6. Find the ratio.
7. Multiply.
