Measuring with Precision
Below are three meter sticks. As you proceed down the page, each meter stick has a smaller division marked.
When you read any scale, you always record the measurement by reading the smallest interval (division) on
the scale and then estimate the next smallest division (“record what you know plus one more”). As you
proceed down the page, you can see how your measurement becomes more precise and you have more
significant digits in your reading. A significant digit is a digit that has physical meaning.
Directions: For the metric ruler below, record the correct reading. Hint: what is the smallest interval?
a. _______
b. _______
c. _______
d. _______
e. _______

Introduction to Dimensional Analysis Worksheet
1. Equivalents – Please write the equivalents for each of the items in the provided
space:
a. 1 week = ____7_____ days
f. 1 pint = _________ cups
b. 365 days = _________ year
g. 1 week = _________ days
c. 4 quarts = _________ gallon
h. 1 mile = ________ feet
d. 2.54 cm = _________ inch
i. 60 sec = _________ min
e. 12 inches = ________ foot
j. 120 min = ________ hours
2. Conversion factors equal to one – Any number over itself is equal to one. For
example, 139/139 = 1. Likewise, 3/3 = 1. In the same way, 1 week/7 days = 1. Use
the equivalents from part 1 above and write each one as a fraction equal to 1.
1 week
a. _____7 days___________
f. ____________________
b. ____________________
g. ____________________
c. ____________________
h. ____________________
d. ____________________
i. ____________________
e. ____________________
j. ____________________
3. Multiplying by one – Any value multiplied by one is that same value. For
example, 139 x 1 = 139. Use the fractions equal to one from part 2 to multiply each
value below by “1”. Carefully choose the fraction you write so you can cancel the
unit provided and end up with the unit requested.
a. 21 days x _______ = ______ weeks
f. 5 cups x _______ = ______ pints
b. 272 days x _______ = ______years
g. 3.2 weeks x _______ = ______ days
c. 1.6 gallons x _______ = ______ quarts
h. 590 ft x _______ = ______ miles
d. 6 inches x _______ = ______ cm
i. 400 sec x _______ = ______ min
e. 39 inches x _______ = ______ ft
