      If you click the calender on the 22nd there will be 2 links and one of them will take you to a new tab which you'll be able to open a PDF of the worksheet there.

      Cool great question you are trying to use he units to cancel out everything except for mass which could be measured in grams or kilograms. So in this one they tell you the quantity but not the unit. So you need to know that mass is grams or kg it's up to you but g would be easier.
