Dimensional Analysis/Math

Hi! I started this forum because I need to learn dimensional analysis for biology and chem. I am stuck with this whole process, However, I am going to become a nurse so I need to learn it.I have looked at some sites including youtube and I am still lost but not as lost when I first started researching the topic. I am creating this site so that I can ask general math questions and hopefully get the help from my allnurses family to help me solve them step by step also if others can post questions and solve step by step it will be very helpful so lets start with this how many feet is in 10 yards? And from here can everyone keep them going as I am a visual learner.

Ogden doesn't do most of their problems in DA so it gets confusing unless you already know how to do it then you can do the problems and check your answers...the nurse the math the meds is all in DA. My school has Ogden but my teacher recommended the other book so I bought it used and it's way more helpful than Ogden 

So this book will help with metric math conversions for bio and chem and does it have questions and detailed answers I looked through this book and there is not a lot of dimensional analysis problems to practice on

Ogden has several dimensional analysis examples , step by step, and tons of dosaging problem. Plus it has a chapter on conversions. I like it because it has what you need. It doesn't specifically cover Chem & Bio, it's meant as a med math book. However, doing conversions/dimensional analysis is the same whether it's dosaging, Chem or Bio.

I also highly recommend "Math Attack: Winning the Pharmacology Math Battle" by Karen Champion. She explains everything in such an easy to understand way and is so encouraging.
