Chemistry => Measurements => Dimensional Analysis

In order to do a division, the units must be congruent.

We can divide units of different properties, that is, units of mass by units of volume, but we cannot divide or multiply units of the same property that are on different scales, that is, we cannot divide nor multiply milligrams by grams, there must be a conversion before division. Therefore we will have to:


(3.0mg^2)\cdot(0.023g)\text{ = No}
(4.0g)\cdot(1.0cm^3)=Yes=4.0g.cm^3
(20.mg^2)/(0.010g)=No
