$\begin{array}{l}\text{S}\text{i}\text{n}\text{c}\text{e},1\text{k}\text{g}=1000\text{g}\hfill \\ \text{S}\text{o},593.2\text{k}\text{g}=539.2\text{k}\text{g}\times 1000\text{g}/1\text{k}\text{g}\hfill \\ 5932\text{g}\hfill \end{array}$.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value 593.2lbsshould be converted to grams.

Concept Introduction:

An arithmetical multiplier which is used for converting a quantity expressed in one unit into another equivalent set of units is said to be conversion factor.

Answer to Problem 15CR

269070.99 g.

Explanation of Solution

Since, 1 lb = 453.592 g

$\begin{array}{l}\text{S}\text{o},593.2\text{l}\text{b}=539.2\text{l}\text{b}\times 453.592\text{g}/1\text{l}\text{b}\hfill \\ 269070.99\text{g}\hfill \end{array}$.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value 8.312 km should be converted to miles.

Concept Introduction:

An arithmetical multiplier which is used for converting a quantity expressed in one unit into another equivalent set of units is said to be conversion factor.

Answer to Problem 15CR

5.165 miles.

Explanation of Solution

Since, 1 km = 0.6214 mile

$\begin{array}{l}\text{S}\text{o},8.312\text{k}\text{m}=8.312\text{k}\text{m}\times 0.6214\text{m}\text{i}\text{l}\text{e}/1\text{k}\text{m}\\ 5.165\text{m}\text{i}\text{l}\text{e}\text{s}\end{array}$.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value 8.312 ft should be converted to miles.

Concept Introduction:

An arithmetical multiplier which is used for converting a quantity expressed in one unit into another equivalent set of units is said to be conversion factor.

Answer to Problem 15CR

0.00157 mile.

Explanation of Solution

Since, 1 ft = 0.000189 mile

$\begin{array}{l}\text{S}\text{o},8.312\text{f}\text{t}=8.312\text{f}\text{t}\times 0.000189\text{m}\text{i}\text{l}\text{e}/1\text{f}\text{t}\hfill \\ 0.00157\text{m}\text{i}\text{l}\text{e}\hfill \end{array}$.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value 6.219 ft should be converted to meters.

Concept Introduction:

An arithmetical multiplier which is used for converting a quantity expressed in one unit into another equivalent set of units is said to be conversion factor.

Answer to Problem 15CR

1.895 m.

Explanation of Solution

Since, 1 ft = 0.3048 m

$\begin{array}{l}\text{S}\text{o},6.219\text{f}\text{t}=6.219\text{f}\text{t}\times 0.3048\text{m}/1\text{f}\text{t}\hfill \\ 1.895\text{m}\hfill \end{array}$.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value 6.219 cm should be converted to meters.

Concept Introduction:

An arithmetical multiplier which is used for converting a quantity expressed in one unit into another equivalent set of units is said to be conversion factor.

Answer to Problem 15CR

0.06219 m.

Explanation of Solution

Since, 1 cm = 0.01 m

$\begin{array}{l}\text{S}\text{o},6.219\text{c}\text{m}=6.219\text{c}\text{m}\times 0.01\text{m}/1\text{c}\text{m}\hfill \\ 0.06219\text{m}\hfill \end{array}$.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value 329.2 L should be converted to milliliters.

Concept Introduction:

An arithmetical multiplier which is used for converting a quantity expressed in one unit into another equivalent set of units is said to be conversion factor.

Answer to Problem 15CR

329200 mL.

Explanation of Solution

Since, 1 L = 1000 mL

$\begin{array}{l}\text{S}\text{o},329.2\text{L}=329.2\text{L}\times 1000\text{m}\text{L}/1\text{L}\hfill \\ 329200\text{m}\text{L}\hfill \end{array}$.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value 9.934 qts should be converted toliters.

Concept Introduction:

An arithmetical multiplier which is used for converting a quantity expressed in one unit into another equivalent set of units is said to be conversion factor.

Answer to Problem 15CR

9.397 L.

Explanation of Solution

Since, 1 qt = 0.946 L

$\begin{array}{l}\text{S}\text{o},9.934\text{q}\text{t}\text{s}=9.934\text{q}\text{t}\text{s}\times 0.946\text{L}/1\text{q}\text{t}\hfill \\ 9.397\text{L}\hfill \end{array}$.
