Two kinds of conversion that are used as factors:
Choose an answer
conversion factors within same conversion factors for unrelated units
dimension (12 eggs= 1 dozen); and (12 eggs = 1 liter); and conversion
1 2
conversion factors within different factors for identical units (12 pills = 10
dimensions (12 pills/day) capsules)
conversion factors within same conversion factors between different
dimension (12 eggs = 1 dozen); and dimensions (12 eggs/day); and
3 4
conversion factors for identical conversion factors for unrelated units
dimensions (12 pills = 12 pills) (12 pills = 1 liter)

, Define conversion factor ratio written in fraction form that is used to convert
one unit of measurement to an equivalent
numerical amount in another unit of measurement.
Define Dimensional analysis (DA). a practical method to solve mathematical
equations with emphasis on units of measurement
to set up equations.
Define dimension. unit of mass, volume, length, time, and so on.
Examples include mg, tsp, L, m, and minute
Define equation. expression of an equal relationship between
mathematical expressions on both sides of an
equal sign after it is solved.
Define factors of measurement. in DA, the data are are in entered in the equation in
fraction form. In general, the word factor denotes
anything that contributes to a result.
Define Label. descriptor of type, not necessarily a unit of
dimension.
Define numerical orientation of a contents of numerator (N) and a denominator.
fraction.
Define Unit. descriptor of dimension. Examples include inch,
tbsp, kg, qt.
Why is dimensional analysis All medical calculations can be solved by DA, with
preferred? FEWER ERRORS
