4-7 Dimensional Analysis
A unit conversion factor is a fraction in which the numerator and denominator represent the same quantity in different units.
4-7 Dimensional Analysis
The average American uses 580 pounds of paper per year. Find this rate in pounds per month, to the nearest tenth.
Additional Example 1: Using Conversion Factors to Solve Problems
The problem gives the ratio 580 pounds to 1 year and asks for an answer in pounds per month.
580 lb 1 yr
1 yr 12 mo
580 lb 12 mo
=
= 48.3 lb per month
Multiply the ratio by the conversion factor.
Divide 580 by 12.
The average American uses 48.3 pounds of paper per month.
Cancel yr units. •yrmo= lb

Additional Example 3: Application
A tennis pro serves a ball that travels the length of the court, 78 feet, in 0.75 second. How fast is the ball moving in feet per second? Check your answer for reasonableness.
4-7 Dimensional Analysis
Additional Example 3 Continued
The ball’s speed is 104 ft/s.
Convert ft/s to mi/h to see if the answer is reasonable.
The ball’s average speed is 71 mi/h, which is a reasonable speed for a serve.
