gram = density X liter

2. What are the advantage of the metric units of measurement?

Answer:
- Reduce the mistake of writing the total of zero.
- Simple and easier to make an calculation
- Accurate calculation

3. Give that 1 mile=1.6 km. Use a calculator to verify that a hectare is about 2.5 acres.
Show all the steps in your calculation.

metric unit:1km²=100 ha
imperial unit: 1 mile²=640 acres
Answer:
ha -> km -> mile -> acers ->
1 ha = 0.01 km²
= 0.01 (1/1.6)² mile
= 0.01 (0.625)² mile
= 0.01 (0.39) mile
= 0.00390625 mile²
= 0.00390625 x 640 acres
= 2.4996 acres
= 2.5 acres
4. Cullianan diamond, that largest diamond found in 1906 at the Prime Mine in S Africa,
weighed 3106 carats. Estimate the weight of Cullianan diamond in pounds. (give that:
1carat=200mg, 2.2lb=1kg)

1 carrat = 200 mg
2.2 kg = 1 Ib

Answer:
carrat -> mg -> g -> kg -> Ib

3106 carrat x 200 mg = 621 200 mg

621600 mg ÷ 1000 g ÷1000 g = 0.6212 kg
but, 2.2 lb = 1 kg
so, 0.6212 x 2.2 kg = 1.36664 Ib = 1.37Ib
