Mixed Operations Problem:

 (4+207.562+115.75) g/1034 mL=

What is 0.317 g/mL


PEMDAS (do parentheses first) 

Then, add then up by lining them up = 327.313

Go to the least precise, which is the ones place (because of the 4), then you note that 327 is 3 s.f. 

Then, do the whole problem, dividing by 1034 mL and get 0.316549323. Even though 1034 mL is 4 s.f., we use 3s.f. from the addition portion because it is the least significant figures we use and get 0.317 g/mL. 

Final answer: 0.317 g/mL

Conversion problem:

  • A Ferris wheel has an area of 156 square feet. Each radius in the Ferris wheel is about 7 feet. Convert the area of the Ferris wheel to square meters.

What is 14.5 m^2?


ft^2 -------------->yd^2------------> m^2 

      (1yd/3ft)^2             (0.914m/1yd)^2

156 ft^2 * (1yd)^2/(3ft)^2 * (0.914m)^2/ (1yd)^2 = 14.48019733 m^2 = 14.5 m^2

Two- step dimensional anaylisis:


Kate raises chickens for eggs while Sam plants peaches, 5.70 pounds of peaches can be exchanged with 2 dozen eggs. If Kate has 170 eggs to exchange with Sam, how many pounds of peaches will she get?

Find: pounds of peaches 

Solution map:

 eggs- dozen eggs-pounds of peaches

170 eggs* 1 dozen/12 eggs * 5.70 pounds of peaches/ 2 dozen eggs = 40.375 pounds of peaches 

The least number of sig figs if (2 from 2 dozen eggs) which makes it 40. pounds of peaches or 4.0 * 10^1 pounds of peaches
