Horses are sometimes measured in a traditional unit called hands. I have invented a unit for measuring cats called fingers. One finger is equal
to 3.1 inches. How tall is my cat in centifingers if he is 11.4 inches tall?
On Paper: Show your work neatly using dimensional analysis. Every number should have a unit and the units should cancel out as you string
together each conversion factor. Record the final answer on the paper with the correct number of significant figures and the unit.

The cat will be 367.72 centifingers tall.

1 finger = 3.1 inches

Recall that: centi = [tex]10^-^2[/tex]

Thus, 1 centifinger = [tex]10^-^2[/tex] finger

The cat is 11.4 inches tall.

If 1 finger = 3.1 inches

Then, how many fingers will make 11.4 inches?

= 11.4 x 1/3.1 = 3.6772 fingers

3.6772 fingers = 3.6772 x [tex]10^2[/tex] centifinger

= 367.72 centifingers
