Complex Conversions!

1)In its lifetime, a snail will travel an average of 649,000 inches. What is this distance in meters? in = m (2.54 ) (1 ) m cm in(100 ) 1.65 x 10 4

2) Ms Jonson buys 10.0 gal juice to share with her students. How many ml juice is this? 10.0 gal = ml (3.785 ) (1 ) (1000) ml L L gal(1 ) 3.79 x 10 4

3) A block at one particular high school lasts 61 minutes. How long is this amount of time in days? 61 min = day (1 ) (60 ) ( 1) day hr min (24 ) 0.042

4) Now that you are a millionaire, you decide to build a swimming pool that holds 567 cm 3 of water. What is this volume in cubic inches? 567 cm 3 = in 3 (1 ) (2.54 ) in cm (2.54 ) 34.6 (2.54 ) cm in (1 ) x 3 does not equal x x 3 = (x)(x)(x)

Because there are 100 cm in 1 m, you might think there are 100 cm 3 in 1 m 3 Actually, this shows that there are WAY MORE cm 3 in 1 m 3 1 m 3 = 1,000,000 or 1 x 10 6 cm 3

5. Convert 67.8 ug /ul to g/cl 67.8 ug = g/cl (1 ) (100 ) ( 1 ) g ul cl ul (1 ) (10 6 ) L L ug (10 6 )

32 mi = km/L ( 1 ) km gal 13.6 but rounds to 14 gal(1 ) (3.785 ) (1 ) L mi (0.62 ) 6. Your car gets 32 miles to the gallon of gasoline in highway travel. Your cousin from France gets 14 kilometers to the liter in his car. Which car has the better gas mileage?

If your game is not done when we are ready to play the games, it will cause a problem and you will not receive credit….hence this timeline of deadlines: 1. By the end of today: finished rough draft (lined paper?) and store it in the inbox, all initials *not finished? Block 7! minutes into NEXT BLOCK: 2 completed, neat games, 1 cut up into pieces (don’t make the edges obvious!) and 1 in the inbox, SAME COLOR. Then you will play someone else’s game!
