Dimensional Analysis

Question 10 • CR SS Chemistry S2 2018/19 2026

Myriah wants to use dimensional analysis to find out how many centimeters (cm) are in 1.4 meters (m). Which of these equalities will be useful for this calculation?

Answer
A
2.54 cm = 1 in.
B
1 m = 39.37 in.
C
1 cm = 10 mm
D
100 cm = 1 m

Explanation

To convert meters to centimeters, use an equality that relates those two units: 100 cm = 1 m. Then 1.4 m × (100 cm / 1 m) = 140 cm; the meter units cancel. The other equalities involve inches or millimeters, so they do not directly give the needed conversion.
