Show just the units, and look at the cancellations
the same way you would do cancellations if
you were multiplying a string of fractions.
-------------------------------------------
[ km / sec ] x [ ft / km ] x [ miles / ft ] x [ sec / min ] x [ min / hr ] x [ hrs / day ] x [ days / yr ]
-------------------------------------------
If you do the cancellations, your should end up with:
[ miles / yr ]
-------------------
Note that you have to supply numbers for each of the steps, like
[ sec / min ] =
-------------------
Also, you can group some of the steps if you know the right conversion, for instance:
[ ft / km ] x [ miles / ft ] = [ miles / km ]
Do you know this conversion? If so you can do 1 step instead of 2
--------------------
Hope this helps. The bigger lesson here is that the units should
work out in ANY problem you do, and it's a way of checking your work
