Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.4P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To estimate number of steps it would take to walk from earth to Alpha Centauri.
Concept introduction:
When making this calculation, we must consider the units of measurement involved in our equation and convert them accordingly if there are multiple of them. For the purposes of this problem, we assume that a typical step is 3 feet.
