I need more opinions because people keep telling me it's not dimensional analysis but others are telling me it is. PLEASE HELP. Use dimensional analysis to find the number of cm/min in 5.8 m/hr. Show your work and be sure to calculate the answer in the correct number of significant figures.
It is dimensional analysis. You use Dimensional analysis basically whenever you need to convert a rate into a different rate, such as miles per hr to feet per second.
So, in this case, you need to convert 5.8 meters per hour into centimeters per minute
How would I do that showing my work and everything? That's what I'm stuck on :/
Okay, how many centimeters in a meter?
100 cm in a meter and 60 mins in an hour
yep, so this is how |dw:1452715131677:dw|to use dimensional analysis
