3. Setting up the answer. (Will not allow math equations) *a. Write down known unit (only has one unit, multiple unit information are conversion factors) *b. Write down conversion factor that will cancel known unit and get new unit (that is either desired unit or unit that will get you closer to desired unit). Keep on using more conversion factors until you get desired unit.YOU DO NO MATH IN THIS STEP |

3. Setting up the answer. (If you are using equations, go to Set-Up for Equations Notes) *a. Look at units in answer to determine the first thing to write **If you answer has one units, then you start off with one units (if that one unit is in denominator, then you start with an unit in the denominator) **If answer has more than one unit, then you need to put down more than one known information ***For example if you answer is ft/s, then you start off with a distance term on the top and a time unit on the bottom *b. Starting with one unit, you then make parentheses ( ) and then a fraction where you put your known conversion factor to get to known unit to unit you are looking for in answer **Usually you don't have one conversion factor that will get you from your known unit to unit you are looking for. So you will have do have intermediate units. **If you have more than one unit, you one unit at a time and do another unit, BUT it is all on the same line (you don't break up the calculation.) *c. Once you have all the desire units, you are done with adding parentheses. |
