Question

A "mole" is a common unit of measurement in chemistry. You may not be familiar with moles, but one of the advantages of dimensional analysis is that you can work with any units as long as you know equivalent measurements.

One mole of water is equivalent to 18 grams of water. A mug of water was measured to contain 205 grams of water. How many moles of water is this?

Choose the TWO fractions that are multiplied together to calculate the solution using dimensional analysis. Make sure that the units of the fractions you choose cross-cancel to produce the unit of your desired answer. You must have the correct two fractions selected at the same time to get credit when you check your answer. You get two attempts to check your answer.
