Answer:
7. 20,000,000 mL.
8. 8,000 m.
9. 120,000 secs.
10. 4
Explanation:
7. Determination of the volume in millilitres (mL)
Volume in litre (L) = 20,000 L
Volume in millilitres (mL) =..?
The volume in mL can be obtained as follow:
1 L = 1,000 mL
Therefore,
20,000 L = 20,000 x 1,000 = 20,000,000 mL.
Therefore, 20,000 L is equivalent to 20,000,000 mL.
8. Determination of the distance in metre (m)
Distance in mile = 5 mile
Distance in metre =?
First, we shall convert from mile to kilometre.
This can be done as follow:
1 mile = 1.6 km
Therefore,
5 mile = 5 x 1.6 = 8 km
Finally, we shall convert 8 km to metre (m).
This is illustrated below:
1 km = 1,000 m
Therefore,
8 km = 8 x 1,000 = 8,000 m
Therefore, 5 miles is equivalent to 8,000 m.
9. Determination of the time in seconds.
Time = 400 minutes for 5 days.
First, we shall convert 400 mins to hour.
This is illustrated below:
60 minutes = 1 hour
Therefore,
400 mins = 400/60 = 20/3 hours
The time (hours) is 20/3 hours in 1 day.
Therefore, the time (hours) in 5 days will be = 20/3 x 5 = 100/3 hours.
Next, we shall convert 100/3 hours to minutes.
This is illustrated below:
1 hour = 60 minutes
Therefore,
100/3 hours = 100/3 x 60 = 2000 mins
Finally, we shall convert 2000 mins to seconds.
This is illustrated below:
1 mins = 60 secs
2000 mins = 2000 x 60 = 120,000 secs.
Therefore, the time is 120,000 secs.
10. Determination of the number of significant figures.
To obtain the significant figures of a number, we simply count all the numbers available.
Therefore, the number of significant figures for 9876 is 4.
