A conversion factor is chosen and set up so that all
units cancel except those required for the answer.
PROBLEM: The height of the Angel Falls is 3212 ft. Express this
quantity in miles (mi) if 1 mi = 5280 ft.
PLAN: Set up the conversion factor so that ft will cancel and the
answer will be in mi.
SOLUTION: 1 mi
3212 ft x = 0.6083 mi

Sample Problem 1.7 Calculating Density from Mass and Length
PROBLEM: Lithium, a soft, gray solid with the lowest density of any
metal, is a key component of advanced batteries. A slab
of lithium weighs 1.49 x 103 mg and has sides that are
20.9 mm by 11.1 mm by 11.9 mm. Find the density of
lithium in g/cm3.
PLAN: Density is expressed in g/cm3 so we need the mass in g
and the volume in cm3.
Lengths (mm) of sides
10 mm = 1 cm
Mass (mg) of Li Lengths (cm) of sides
103 mg = 1 g multiply lengths
Mass (g) of Li Volume (cm3)
divide mass by volume
Density (g/cm3) of Li

• Zeros that end a number are significant
– whether they occur before or after the decimal point
– as long as a decimal point is present.
• 1.030 mL has 4 significant figures.
• 5300. L has 4 significant figures.

3. If the digit removed is 5 followed by zeros or
with no following digits, the preceding number
increases by 1 if it is odd and remains unchanged if
it is even.
17.75 rounds to 17.8, but 17.65 rounds to 17.6.
If the 5 is followed by other nonzero digits, rule 1
is followed:
17.6500 rounds to 17.6, but 17.6513 rounds to 17.7
