What conversion factor could be used to determine how many pounds of apples could be bought for $10.00?

Each of the following coins is photographed to scale. Measure each using a metric ruler (in cm) and record the diameter to the precision reflected in the ruler. Make a simple graph of the value of the coin (x-axis) and the diameter of the coin (y-axis). Is there any correlation between these two quantities? Which coin does not fit the general trend?

For Exercises 57 and 58, apples cost $1.75 per pound. . What conversion factor is appropriate to express the cost of 5.3 lb of apples? . What conversion factor could be used to determine how many pounds of apples could be bought for $25.00?

Solve these problems about lumber dimensions. To describe to a European how houses are constructed in the US, the dimensions of two-by-four lumber must be converted into metric units. The thickness × width × length dimensions are 1.50 in. × 3.50 in. × 8.00 ft in the US. What are the dimensions in cm × cm × m This lumber can be used as vertical studs, which are typically placed 16.0 in. apart. What is that distance in centimeters

Visit this PhET density simulation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16phetmasvolden) and select Custom Blocks and then My Block. Enter mass and volume values for the block such that the mass in kg is less than the volume in L. What does the block do? Why? Is this always the case when mass volume How would (a) and (b) be different if the liquid in the tank were ethanol instead of water How would (a) and (b) be different if the liquid in the tank were mercury instead of water
