It is not necessarily the most appropriate way. A proper understanding of the way in which different measurements are related is sufficient - without going into dimensional analysis. Dimensional analysis can be useful for people who have not got their heads around the relationships between units.

If done properly, there should be none!
Algebraic Steps / Dimensional Analysis Formula ____ st*14 lb 1 st=? lb
Algebraic Steps / Dimensional Analysis Formula ____ mm*1 cm 10 mm=? cm

Algebraic Steps / Dimensional Analysis Formula ____ cm²*100 mm² 1 cm²=? mm²
Two is the number of terms that is included in dimensional analysis.
then you should stop and go back to dimensional analysis. A metre is a measure of distance, with dimensions [L]. A gram is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.
Dimensional analysis is important because it allows you to convert from one unit to another.
Why does dimensional analysis work for calculations involving rates
