Data Table 3: Single-Step Conversions
Data Table 4: Multi-Step Conversions
Using dimensional an of measurement, it’s easier to use smaller numbers instead of the larger ones.
Why should dimensional analysis be used to convert units of measure?
Sample 1 since one leader equals 1000 mL then250 mL equals .25 L. And sample two is a already in L. Sample three 1 fluid ounces is 0.0295735 L so 30 fluid ounces it would be around 0.887205 L. Altogether they will equal to 2.537205 L.
A researcher combines three liquid samples with the volumes listed below.
How much total liquid in liters does the researcher have? Include your
calculations in your answer.
Sample 1: 250 mL
Sample 2: 1.4 L
Sample 3: 30.00 fluid ounces
