\begin{gathered} 350\operatorname{km}=350,000m \\ 2m=3218m \\ 240^(\doubleprime)=6.096m \end{gathered}

1) Let's tackle this question with the following procedure for each conversion:

Metric Conversions:

350 km

Or Simply:


350\operatorname{km}=350*1000=350,000m

b) 2 miles

Considering that 1 mile is equivalent to 1609 meters then we can write:


2miles=2*1609=3218m

c) 240"

One inch is 2.54 centimeters. 1 centimeter is 1/100 meters so we can write out the following:


\begin{gathered} 1^(\doubleprime)=2.54\operatorname{cm}=(1)/(100)*2.54=0.0254m \\ 0.0254m------1\~ \\ x---------\text{ 240} \\ x=240\cdot0.0254 \\ x=6.096m \end{gathered}

Note that all conversions are proportional. And those are the answers.
