Dimensional Analysis

Are we starting to understand dimensional analysis? Why is it important to do this type of math instead of just moving the dicimal spot?

it is good to show your work. it is so if you do some thing wrong you can see it. if we do not you might count it wrong

so we understand what we are doing, and how much we are using. what we are doing the problem and how the answer.

Yes I am starting to understand it. We need to do it so we know how what measurment matches up with another. We also need to do this so we know where it comes from.

Yes, I understand the dimensional analysis. We have to know how to do it this way because when we get to the bigger converstions it will be easier for us. We won't get confused when the harder stuff comes along.

no i dont know what dimensional analysis. so we get to get cornfusted on how you teach. and because people for chemistry are nerds

it is important to do dimensional analysis for the type of math instead of moving the decimal spots.because sometimes you would have to switch the units.It would be good for us to understand for when we get to biggerr conversionse

So that eventually we can do the difficult stuff. When we start to use atoms and moles then we will know how to do it.
Yes i am starting to understand it.

I am starting to understatnd it. We need it so we know what measurement matches up with another. We need to know where it come from.

Yes we are starting to understand it better. We need to learn how to do it now so when we get to the hard stuff it is easier. Now we can do it easily so whe can do it easy.

Yeah we understand it a little better. We need to do it so we understand where it comes from. We will also no how to do it later when its hard.
