DAMMM I CANT EVEN UNDERSTAND MY TEACHER TEACHING THIS BUT NOW I UNDERSTAND BC OF U im getting the hang of it tyyyyyyyyyyyy ur the best saving my life here frfr

[@sparklemepink101]

With all the conversions from days into seconds, I couldn't help, but think of the RENT song. Thank you, Mr. Andersen!

[@bryceelliott13]

Thank you so much, Mr. Anderson! Honors Chemistry was kicking my butt not even 2 weeks in, but your videos on Sig Figs and the Factor Label Method have helped me so much!

[@danny2750]

I seriously hope you don't underestimate just how helpful your videos are. Thank you very much and I appreciate everything you do.

[@mattschwenks6759]

Big help. Used this video before one of my chemistry tests, and it helped so much more!

[@OttosScarf]

i missed two continuous days of class and even after watching multiple videos i couldn't figure this stuff out. thank you for your video, because this is the one where everything finally clicked

[@crushingcollegechemistryby8222]

Hello everyone! I'm a college professor and I just wanted to write in and make sure that students know that 12 days is a counting number and is exempt from significant figures. So definitions and counting numbers always have infinite significant figures. Thus they do not limit you.

[@ODSTtherokie]

i missed the day we got the lecture over this. and the next day i came in and the teacher toled me one on one how to do it and i was ok with the simple 1 conversion but i could not do the 2 or more but now i can. and all i can say now is thank you

[@MszMwilliams90]

I'm a student at NIU and because of my teachers accent I find lectures very hard to follow....Im so thankful for this video!!!!!

[@ridhwaanany7480]

Mr Anderson is the best Mr Anderson

[@lilakitten164]

you are soooo helpful Mr. Anderson!

[@actingforever14]

Wow, this actually makes sense. I wish you my teacher were like you and explained slow enough for me to understand!

[@benoliver5290]

helps with homework so much. thanx man. keep up the good work!

[@LoveLaugh12345]

Thanks, really informative!

[@IzaTimeLord]

THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH!!!

[@jonathanromero6468]

can you go from a smaller unit like seconds to a bigger unit like days

[@tculbertson1562]

Thank You!!! This helped me so much!

[@xiibu]

Because of this I am going to pass chemistry! Thank you so so much for posting

[@satisfction]

did you pass?

[@dilldyl]

Wish you were my teacher.

[@superstartreklover]

thanks this is really helpful

[@juliag6664]

Could you also write the last question as 2.5 m/s x 10^1? Thank you!

[@TheJoshtheboss]

Class!

[@iPwnL96z]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@wildflower2793]

Well goodness sakes he is Waay too handsome for me to even concentrate on what he is saying!!! Mr Anderson? hubba hubba ~ ; )

[@mariamnajem1675]

saw you for ap bio. Now I m using you for ap physics!

[@smdsanchez]

Thank you so much. :)

[@joebattpt]

I have a question about significant digits: Wouldn't the number of hours in a day be a constant, i.e. a real world value, and therefore have an infinite number of significant figures? I am referring to 24 hours in a day used in the video. You would need to defined the number of significant figures you are expecting in the response, correct?

[@Haterade2233]

you're the reason I passed phyics and am passing chemistry

[@loganwilliams8043]

thank you smm

[@mishmishmish410]

Thank u sooooo much

[@alisonc2501]

HELPFUL

[@QuickScopersUnknown]

Holy cow I am going to pass because of you man!

[@megawolfn]

This makes much more sense then the jibberish my science teacher was teaching us.

[@danielbennett7263]

at 7:50 what did you multiply to get the answer? no matter what i multiply i cant do that, you also said something about dividing it. what am i doing wrong?

[@satisfction]

5 years later but i think it's ok tho??? he multiplied both numbers from above, both numbers from below and divided it in 1 single step

[@danielbennett7263]

@@satisfction lmao five years later and I'm doing integral calc now and seeing this makes me wish I could go back

[@satisfction]

[@bcbright17]

Am I the only one who still doesn’t understand this 😭😭😭

[@serenaivs6627]

Chris Bright I don’t understand it either 😫

[@esmetirado3248]

i dont undertsnad the last problem, 3rd step. I would have put 60 min over an hour.. im lost

[@lilakitten164]

did not expect to hear about kevin bacon in this video lmao

[@brandylutkins8035]

your scientific notation was wrong you said 12 days=1036800 or 1.0*10^6 the 3,6 and 8 are significant numbers so it would be 1.0368*10^6

[@noahstout3288]

brandy lutkins false

[@christopherscott7093]

did you have a glass of wine before making this video :^D

[@shrek5888]

is this john green

[@helveticacalibri4036]

Wouldn't you not need to use sig figs if you knew the conversion was spot on?

[@donaldball4353]

Hi

[@renegadeindigo60]

how did miles go to minutes?

[@renegadeindigo60]

meters**

[@catlover1986]

The part where he said "1609 meters over 1 mile". That's the direct conversion.

[@MrBeyblade21]

Mr Mahlum brought me here

[@ps2player007]

Who got sent from Kelleys class?!

[@ZanderDogz]

+ps2player007 Sorry man...

[@BobJoe-bq5nn]

you forgot some commas in ur numbers

[@nonexistence5135]

Teacher why are you making me watch this I know how to do basic algebra.

[@GENIUSA1A]

sig figs are so stupid and so is metric
