Answer 1

1. 0.3457g

2. 7650mL

3. 216000 seconds

4. 10080minutes

5. 2400 seconds

6. 173.99cm

7. 70283.2g

8. 137.16metres

9. 4.968miles

10. 3.105miles

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 1000mg = 1g

345.7 mg = 345.7/1000

= 0.3457g

2. 1kL = 1000000mL

0.00765 kL = 0.00765 × 1000000

= 7650mL

3. 1 day = 86400s

2.5 days = 2.5 × 86400

= 216000 seconds

4. 1 week = 10080minutes

1.000weeks is equivalent to 1 week, hence there are 10080minutes in 1.000week.

5. 1minute = 60seconds

40.0minutes = 40 × 60

= 2400seconds.

6. 1 inch = 2.54cm

68.5inches = 68.5 × 2.54

= 173.99cm

7. 1Ib = 16oz

155Ibs = 155 × 16

= 2480 oz

1 oz = 28.34 g

2480oz = 2480 × 28.34

= 70283.2g

8. 1 foot = 12 inches

450 feet = 450 × 12

= 5400inches

1 inch = 0.0254metres

5400 inches = 5400 × 0.0254

137.16metres

9. 1 metre = 0.000621 mile

8000 metres = 8000 × 0.000621

= 4.968miles

10. 1 kilometers = 1000 metres

5km = 5 × 1000

= 5000metres

1 metre = 0.000621 mile

5000metres = 5000 × 0.000621

= 3.105miles
