You measure the distance between to cities to be 42.0 miles. You need to send this data to Brazil which uses metric. Convert 42.0 miles to km.
5285 ft = 1 mile
12 in = 1 ft
2.54 cm = 1 in
Use the conversion factors provided and express using correct significant figures and no unit.
Carry out the following conversions. Report your answers to the correct number of significant figures.
(g) 31.8 lb to g
(h) 4.013 qt to L
(i) 985 cm to in
If I have a measurement of a diameter using a ruler with increments in mm:
1.70cm diameter
then divided by 2 to get the radius, is it 0.85cm or 0.850cm? I'm just confused about significant figures
