Question

determine whether the statement is true or false. if the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. dimensional analysis uses powers of ten to convert from one unit of measurement to another. choose the correct answer below. a. the statement is true. b. the statement is false, dimensional analysis uses powers of five to convert from one unit of measurement to another. c. the statement is false, dimensional analysis uses linear units to convert from one unit of measurement to another. d. the statement is false, dimensional analysis uses unit fractions to convert from one unit of measurement to another.

Explanation:

Dimensional analysis uses unit - fractions (also called conversion factors) to convert from one unit of measurement to another. For example, to convert inches to feet, we use the unit - fraction $\frac{1\ ft}{12\ in}$. It does not use powers of ten (which is relevant for metric - system conversions in some cases but not the general concept of dimensional analysis), powers of five, or linear units for the conversion process.

Answer:

D. The statement is false, dimensional analysis uses unit fractions to convert from one unit of measurement to another.
