Escape from Zango

Dimensional Analysis Lab
Your rocket ship has just crash-landed on the planet Zingo Zango and you have found yourself in a very
strange chemistry class.

The class is studying conversions in the Zingo Zango system. You are in deep trouble because you know
English and Metric units only.

Hearing of your difficulty, the first graders on Zingo Zango make you a set of flash cards. Use them to solve
your homework! An A in chemistry will earn you a trip back to earth. If you fail to complete the conversion
sheet, the Zingo Zango President, Zaphod Beeblebrox, will vaporize you into oblivion. Another stipulation
imposed on you and your crew is that if you are not successful, Earth will be disintegrated to make way for a
new inter-galactic highway. The future of mankind on earth depends on you.

Instr uctions:
For each conversion problem, arrange the flashcards in the necessary manner to solve your problem. Note
that you will also find a card that has the beginning part of each conversion on it.

Work these problems using Dimensional Analysis. SHOW YOUR WORK ON YOUR OWN PAPER!
WATCH SIGNIFICANT DIGITS! These are not exact conversions.
