A standard US postage stamp is 2.5 cm long and 2.1 cm wide. What is the area of the stamp in m 2 ?
The directions of an experiment call for you to use 676 mL of a solution. What is this volume in centimeters cubed? In nanoliters?
K = o C o C o F (multiply by 9, divide by 5, add 32) o C (9/5) + 32 = o F EX: Convert 26 o C to Fahrenheit.
o F o C (deduct 32, multiply by 5, divide by 9) ( o F - 32)(5/9) = o C EX: Convert 98.6 o F to Celsius.
