Empirical Formula when There's a Decimal - How to Get Whole Numbers for your Empirical Formulas

IN this video we take a quick look at how to make sure you're getting whole number ratios in your empirical formulas and what to do if you get a decimal.
Good luck!

Thank you so much! This helped me lots, especially that "decimal × by" chart. Thank you ❤️

[@littlefry6691]

[@krizzleclaired.ortega293]

thankyou so much, this helps a lot! but what should I do if I got 1.09?

[@gz3193]

I would just round down, because even rounding up its just 1.1.

[@vinaykumar-en7md]

Round off to 1

Thank you so much Ma'am 🛐

[@noramartirez5303]

thank you for this but I cant figure out how to get these subscripts into whole numbers:
1.3
.52
2.06
ANYONE PLS HELP. YOUR HELP WOULD BE SO APPRECIATED. THANK YOU!

[@straightscience2248]

Sure - you're close, you're not going to get a perfect whole number, you have to approximate. So the 1.3, multiply by 3 to get 3.9 (round to 4). For 0.52, multiple by 2 to get 1.04 (round to 1). For 2.06, it's close enough, just round to 2
