To be able to determine the number of M&Ms that are needed in order to measure the length of Mississippi River, we convert the units to a common one. For this purpose, we convert kilometers to centimeter such that,
 
Length of Mississippi River = (4000 km)(1000 m/1 km)(100 cm/1 m)
                       = 400,000,000 cm

Since there are 400,000,000 cm in the entire length of the river, the answer would also be 400,000,000.

A new car worth $20,000 loses 20% of its value every year. Is the value of the car represented by a linear or exponential functi
madreJ [45]
Exponential. 

One way to think about this, is to ask how much you will lose each year. The first year you're losing 20% of $20,000 ($4,000). The second year you're losing 20% of 16,000 ($3,200). The dollar value your car loses each year diminishes exponentially, so it is not a linear but an exponential function.
