Here's
an approach that can increase your problem-solving skills, even if
you're "math-challenged".
This method can guide you through many kinds of chemistry
problems. It has helped many students!
1. Study the problem. Decide units needed
for answer, and look for equalities that might be useful.
2.
Write the known quantity with unit label
if unsure, choose a starting point
that resembles the answer.
3. Multiply known quantity by a conversion
factor:
a fraction, equal to one
allows you to cancel unwanted units
introduces desired units if possible
4. May have to repeat step 3 until all units
cancel
except the ones you need for the
answer
5. Do the arithmetic and label units of answer
