Expert Solution
Step 1: the above conversions are solved here.

(a). 24.3 feet into meters

      1 ft= 0.3048 meters

  Then,

24.3ft=? m

(24.3ft0.3048) /1

 = 7.40664 m

(b)  mi to kilometers

   6.83 miles into kilometres

 1mi= 1.60934km

Then,  6.83 miles = 10.99183 km


(C) square mile to square kilometre

 Given: 69898 square miles

 1 square mile= 2.5899 square kilometre

Then, 

69898 sq mile= 69898×2.5899

        = 181034.99 square kilometre


(d)  gill to millilitre.

 Given : 5.5 gills

  1 gill = 118.294  ml

 Now,

5.5 gills = 5.5×118.294

    = 650.618 millilitre
