Directions: Solve each problem below by applying the concepts on conversion and sources and types of
errors. (5 points each)

1. Soccer fields vary in size. A large soccer field is 115 m long and 85 m wide. What are its
dimensions in feet? (Assume that 1 meter equals 3.281 feet)

2. Show that 1.0 m/s = 3.6 km/h

3. The speed of sound is measured to be 342 m/s on a certain day. What is this in km/h?

“Math may not teach us how to ADD love or SUBTRACT hate but it gives us hope that EVERY
PROBLEM HAS A SOLUTION.”
Good luck!
