round off the answer to the least number of decimal places found in the question

Question 30

how do you round when adding or subtracting more than one size of unit

Answer 30

covert all of the values to the largest unit, then add or subtract, then round to the least number of decimal places found in the question

Question 31

what happens when you convert a number to a smaller unit

Answer 31

you get a bigger number

Question 32

what happens when you convert a number to a bigger unit

Answer 32

you get a smaller number

Question 33

how do you do unit conversions on the periodic table chart

Answer 33

if you move up on the chart, move decimal to the left, if you move down on the chart move the decimal to the right

Question 34

how do you change units using fractions

Answer 34

multiply by a series of factors so that the units you do not want will cancel out and the units you want will remain
