another language for me

ok, so I have to take science, not a happy place:( even thou I am a smilemaker, and smilemaker is my thing, this whole science stuff is making me smile less, but I guess in the long run , I will be the ultimate smilemaker.


STEP ONE: Write the value (and its unit) from the problem, then in order write: 1) a multiplication sign, 2) a fraction bar, 3) an equals sign, and 4) the unit in the answer. Put a gap between 3 and 4. All that looks like this:



The fraction bar will have the conversion factor. There will be a number and a unit in the numerator and the denominator.

STEP TWO: Write the unit from the problem in the denominator of the conversion factor, like this:



STEP THREE: Write the unit expected in the answer in the numerator of the conversion factor.



STEP FOUR: Examine the two prefixes in the conversion factor. In front of the LARGER one, put a one.



There is a reason for this. I'll get to it in a second.

STEP FIVE: Determine the absolute distance between the two prefixes in the conversion unit. Write it as a positive exponent in front of the other prefix.



Now, multiply and put into proper scientific notation format. Don't forget to write the new unit. Sometimes, the exponential number is in the denominator. You must move it to the numerator and when you do so, remember to change the sign. Also, DO NOT move the unit with it. That unit has been cancelled and is no longer
