Question

Solving:

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 31,536,000 seconds

2. Car B traveled a longer distance

3. Volume of box = 0.235887 cubic meters

Explanation:

Q1. Age in seconds

1 year = 365 days
1 day = 24 hours
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore 1 year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 31,536,000 seconds

In scientific notation this would be $3.1536\times 10^7 \text{ seconds}$

Q2. Comparing km and miles

Given:
1 km = 1000m and 1 m = 3.3ft,   I km = 1000 x 3.3 = 3300 ft.

Convert Car A distance of 25.7km to feet :
25.7 km. = 25. 7 x 3300 ft. = 84,810 ft.

For Car B  that traveled 20 miles,
20 miles = 20 x 5280 = 105,600 ft.

Since 105,600 > 84,810, car B traveled a longer distance

Q3. Volume of wooden box

The wooden box is in the shape of a rectangular prism
It volume is L x W x H
Volume = 1.525 x 0.30 x 0.5156 = 0.235887 cubic meters
