b. 4300. in^2 =? m^2

c. 6677 m^3 = ? acre-ft

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 }=(1)/(1.609) \text{ miles }`

`5.2 \text{ kilometer }=(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* 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=(1)/(1233.48)\text{ acre-ft }`

`6677 \text{ meter }^3=(6677)/(1233.48)\text{ acre-ft }`

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