I, Mr.Gumpert, want to become famous. I want my dog Aria to be
famous too. This is what I am going to do:
• I am going to create a new unit of measurement for length
called gumps (gp) and
• another unit of measurement for volume called arias (ar)
So that people can become accustomed to these new units I have
included conversion factors for the soon to be obsolete metric &
imperial systems here.
1gp = 5.896ft = 1.797m
1kgp = 1.117 miles = 1.797km
Part A: Core Understanding

In 1983, at its General Conference on Weights and Measures, the National Institute of Standards and
Technology used the speed of light to define the length of a meter. One meter is the distance light travels
1
in
299,792,458
second.
a. How many meters does light travel in 1 second?
Light travels
m.
b. What is the speed of light in kilometers per second?
The speed of light is
km/sec.
c. In England in 1956, the speed of light was measured as 299,792.4 + 0.11 kilometers per second. Is the
speed of light that was used by the General Conference on Weights and Measures within this range?
The speed of light| (select) + within this range.

She computed the average and the SD and obtained 32 and 2.1 inches, respectively. Later she realized that the yard stick was broken and the first six inches were missing. Consequently, she corrected all her measurements by subtracting 6 inches from each measurement. Later she wanted to convert her measurements to feet. That is, she uses the following formula: Corrected and converted measurement= (1/12) × (original measurement-6)= ((1/12) × original measurement) - 0.50. The corrected and converted measurements average feet with an SD of Fill in the blanks - or do you need the data? Explain briefly and/or show work. feet.arrow_forward
