Question

Convert each of the following measurements to the units by first using conversion tables.

Answer 1

Answer and explanation:

To find : Convert each of the following measurements to the units by first using conversion tables ?

Solution :

a) 5.2 km into miles

$1 \text{ miles }= 1.609 \text{ kilometer }$

$1 \text{ kilometer }=\frac{1}{1.609} \text{ miles }$

$5.2 \text{ kilometer }=\frac{5.2}{1.609} \text{ miles }$

$5.2 \text{ kilometer }=3.23 \text{ miles }$

b) 4300 in² into m²

$1 \text{ inch }= 0.0254 \text{ meter }$

$1 \text{ inch }^2=( 0.0254)^2 \text{ meter }^2$

$1 \text{ inch }^2=0.00064516 \text{ meter }^2$

$4300 \text{ inch }^2=4300\times 0.00064516 \text{ meter }^2$

$4300 \text{ inch }^2=2.77 \text{ meter }^2$

c) 6677 m³ into acre-ft

$1 \text{ acre-ft }= 1233.48 \text{ meter }^3$

$1 \text{ meter }^3=\frac{1}{1233.48}\text{ acre-ft }$

$6677 \text{ meter }^3=\frac{6677}{1233.48}\text{ acre-ft }$

$6677 \text{ meter }^3=5.41\text{ acre-ft }$
