Question

Convert 552 miles (mi) to kilometers (km) given that 1 mi = 1760 yd and 1 m = 1.094 yd. Do not include units and do not use scientific notation. Report your answer to three significant figures.

Answer 1

888 km

Step-by-step explanation:

using the equivalences given, you can make conversions as follows:

552 mi * 1760
`(yd)/(mi)` *
`(1 m)/(1.094 yd)` *
`(1 km)/(1000 m)`= 888.0438 km; then, taking only 3 significant figures 552 mi = 888 km

Note: if you don´t include units, you can´t make the conversion.
