DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS PROBLEMS

Conversions Factors

1 hr = 60 min 1 min = 60 sec 1 ton = 2000 lbs 7 days = 1 week


24 hrs = 1 day 1 kg = 2.2 lbs 1 gal = 3.79 L 264.2 gal = 1 cubic meter
1 mi = 5,280 ft 1 kg = 1000 g 1 lb = 16 oz 20 drops = 1 mL
365 days = 1 yr 52 weeks = 1 yr 2.54 cm = 1 in 1 L = 1000 mL

0.621 mi = 1.00 km 1 yd = 36 inches 1 cc is 1 cm 1 mL = 1 cm3

DIRECTIONS: Solve each problem using dimensional analysis. Every number must have a unit. Work must
be shown. Conversion factors are given below

1.) How many miles will a person run during a 10 kilometer race?

2.) The moon is 250,000 miles away. How many feet is it from earth?

3.) A family pool holds 10,000 gallons of water. How many cubic meters is this?

4.) The average American student is in class 330 minutes/day. How many hours/day is this? How many
seconds is this?

5) How many seconds are there in 1 year?

6) Lake Michigan holds 1.3 x 1015 gallons of water. How many liters is this?

7) Pepsi puts 355 ml of pop in a can. How many drops is this? How many cubic meters is this?
