Problem Solving and Unit Conversions
A. Tools for Problem Solving
� I am driving in Canada. I have a journey of 120 km and I
need to estimate how many liters of gas to buy. I know
my car fuel mileage is 24 miles per gallon. (1 mile is 1.6
km, 1 gallon is 3.79 liters)
� Be systematic
� Ask yourself these questions
± What do we know to start with?
± Where do we want to go?
± How do we get there?
± Does it make sense?

Problem Solving and Unit Conversions
A. Tools for Problem Solving
� We can convert from one system of units to another by a
method called dimensional analysis using conversion
factors.
� Unit1 v conversion factor = Unit2

Problem Solving and Unit Conversions
A. Tools for Problem Solving
� Conversion factors are built from an equivalence
statement which shows the relationship between the
units in different systems.
1 inch = 2.54cm or 1 cm = 0.394 inches
� Conversion factors are ratios of the two parts of the
equivalence statement that relate the two units.
1 inch or 2.54cm or 0.394 inches or 1 cm .
2.54cm 1 inch 1 cm 0.394 inches

B. Temperature Conversions
� Note that
± The temperature unit is the same size. ± The zero points are different.
� To convert from Celsius to Kelvin we need to adjust for
the difference in zero points.
