Units question
\[L \frac{ m ^{3}}{ L} \]
Divided by \[m^{2}\frac{ m }{ s }\]
I think it's 1/s after cancelling units out but my teachers notes say s
It's basically (Litres*(m^3/Litres))/(m^2*(m/s))
If I understood the question correctly, the units look like this \[\frac{ L \frac{ m^3 }{ L } }{ m^2 \frac{ m }{ s } }\] (Sorry it looks kind of small) Notice first that in the numerator, you have an L/L, which you can cancel out. And in the denominator, you can combine the m^2 with the m: \[\frac{ m^3 }{ m^3 /s }\] So from here you can cancel out a m^3 from top and bottom, \[\frac{ 1 }{ 1/s }=s\]
Ahh, a fraction within a fraction..I should have seen that!
Ah yes, remember that when you have a fraction within a denominator, you have to flip it!
