It is also called "Dimensional Analysis". It is a problem-solving method that uses the fact that any numbers can be multiplied by one without changing its value.

The factor-label method is the sequential application of conversion factors expressed as fractions and arranged so that any dimensional unit appearing in both the numerator and denominator of any of the fractions can be cancelled out until only the desired set of dimensional units is obtained.
Which label belongs in the area marked Z?
Yes you can label a triangle My daughter is in 3rd and she learned last week how to label triangles.
In most charts you must always label the axes.
To answer this, we need to use unit analysis (a.k.a. dimensional analysis, Factor-Label Method, or the Unit Factor Method) to convert miles to feet and hours to seconds. Essentially what we're doing is multiplying 62 miles/hour by a value equal to 1, like 60 seconds/1 minute (since 60 seconds and 1 minute express the same time period, the fraction is equal to 1) expressed in the right units to convert the expression to the units we want. 62 mi/hr * (5280 ft/1 mi) * (1 hr/60 min) * (1 min/60 sec)= (62*5280)/(60*60) ft/sec= 90.9333... ft/sec, or about 91 feet per second.
