(b)

The value in mils of the given quantity.

Answer to Problem 1P

The value in mils of the given quantity is $31.25$ mils.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given length is $\frac{1}{32}$ inch.

Concept Used:

  $1\text{ inch}=1000\text{ mils}$

Calculation:

  $\frac{1}{32}$ inch $=\frac{1}{32}\times 1000\text{ mils}$

  $=31.25\text{ mils}$

Conclusion:

  $\frac{1}{32}$ inch $=31.25\text{ mils}$

To determine

(c)

The value in mils of the given quantity.

Answer to Problem 1P

The value in mils of the given quantityis $250$ mils.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given length is $\frac{1}{4}$ inch.

Concept used:

  $1\text{ inch}=1000\text{ mils}$

Calculation:

  $\frac{1}{4}\text{ inch}=\frac{1}{4}\times 1000\text{ mils}$

  $=250\text{ mils}$

To determine

(d)

The value in mils of the given quantity.

Answer to Problem 1P

The value in mils of the given quantityis $393.701\text{ mils}$.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given length is $10$ mm.

Concept Used:

  $1\text{ mm}=39.3701\text{ mils}$

Calculation:

  $1\text{ mm}=39.3701\text{ mils}$

  $10\text{ mm}=39.3701\times 10\text{ mils}$

Conclusion:

  $10\text{ mm}=393.701\text{ mils}$

To determine

(e)

The value in mils of the given quantity.

Answer to Problem 1P

The value in mils of the given quantityis $120\text{ mils}$.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The length provided us is $0.01$ ft.

Concept Used:

  $1\text{ ft}=12000\text{ mils}$

Calculation:

  $\begin{array}{l}1\text{ ft}=12000\text{ mils}\\ 0.01\text{ ft}=0.01\times 12000\text{ mils}\\ =120\text{ mils}\end{array}$

Conclusion:

  $\begin{array}{l}0.01\text{ ft}=120\text{ mils}\\ \end{array}$

To determine

(f)
