Percentage Problems

Name 2 rules

A
  1. When it’s a percent always denominate with 100
  2. Use the same unit in the numerator and denominator

18% body fat by mass:
100 kg body mass= 18kg of body fat
__________________. _________________
18kg of body fat. 100kg of body mass

A

7lb 14oz

14oz (1lb. )=0.875lb
______
16oz

7lb+0.875lb=7.875lb baby

42
Q

Problem solving using conversion factors

A

2.44m=cm

2.44m(100cm)= 2.44cm
_________
1m

Cancel out m. 2.44x100=244cm

43

44
Q

2 rules for numerator and denominators

A

Numerator: multiply
Denominator : down denominator divide
(Divide two multiplication )

45
Q

Counting Significant Figures

A
  1. ) Nonzero #’s are counted as significant
  2. 987 5 sig.fig
  3. ) Zero BEFORE the nonzero # is not significant : “Leading zero”
  4. 43987 5 sig fig. 0.00086 kg 2 sig fig

3.) Zero BETWEEN nonzero # is a significant fig
6042mm 4 sig. 400009605mm 9sig

4.) zero AFTER nonzero # “Trailing zero”
-if there isn’t a decimal point it is Not sig
-if there is a decimal point it Is sig
4800 dg. 2 sig fig. 19640 cg. 5 sigfig
0.007600007200 mL 10 sig fig (only last 2 zeros count because of decimal

5.) Exact Numbers: no equipment used
-no limitations -infinity of sig #s
A: definition 12 in=1ft : infinity s.f.
10 dg=1g: infinity s.f.

    B: Numbers obtained by counting look at their              label.  
          27 students     Infinity
          27 inches.        2 sig fig (used by ruler)
46
Q

Significant conversion

A

Length 1 in= 2.54 cm. infinity sig definition
Volume 1qt= 946 mL. 3 sig calc round
Mass 1lb=454g. 3 sig calc round

Use metric are infinity except mL/L

47
Q

Calculations with Significant figures

ADD/ SUB

A
  1. Calc and write answer down
  2. Determine least precise (least info) original number
  3. Final answer is limited to same decimal place(least precise #)
48
Q

Calculations with Significant figures

Mult/ Divide

A
  1. Calculate write answer
  2. Determine the # of sig fig in original #s
  3. Final answer has same sig fig as original # with fewest sig fig
