Use two unit multipliers to convert 600 miles to inches. ( Do not multiply out.)

Mathematics

Sphinxa [80]3 years ago

Answer:

(600 mi) × (5280 ft/mi) × (12 in/ft)

Step-by-step explanation:

A "unit multiplier" is a multiplier that has a value of 1. That is, the numerator and denominator have the same value. For units conversion problems, the numerator quantity has the units you want, and the denominator quantity has the units you're trying to cancel.

You have units of miles. You know that ...

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 foot = 12 inches

You want to get to units of inches. With these conversion factors, you can do it in two steps (as the problem requests). The first conversion is from miles to feet using the unit multiplier (5280 feet)/(1 mile). This gives you a number of feet.

Then the second conversion is from feet to inches, so you use the one that lets you put inches in the numerator and feet in the denominator:

(12 inches)/(1 foot)

When you multiplie these all out, units of miles and feet cancel, and you're left with inches.

_____

With the above conversion factors, you can write unit mulipliers of either ...

(5280 ft)/(1 mi) . . . to convert to feet

or

(1 mi)/(5280 ft) . . . to convert to miles.

The diameter of the moon is about 3500 km. Approximate the surface area of the moon using the formula for the surface area of a
Contact [7]

Answer:

3.8465 *10^7 square kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a sphere can be found using the formula SA=4\pi r^2. Since the diameter is 3500 km then its radius is half of this. 3500 divided in two is 1,750 units. Substitute r=1,750.

SA=4\pi r^2\\SA = 4 \pi (1750)^2\\SA = 4 \pi *3,062,500\\SA =38,465,000

The surface area of the moon is about 38,465,000 square kilometers. Write this is scientific notation using base. 3.8465 *10^7
