Question 1

The distance from New York City to Washington,DC is approximately 235 miles.Identify the correct solution map to convert from miles to kilometers using the prefix multipliers and the given conversion factors: 1 mile = 5280 ft;1 ft = 12 in;1 in = 2.54 cm.

Accepted Answer

To convert from miles to kilometers, we need to use the prefix multiplier "kilo-" which means 1000. Therefore, we need to convert miles to meters (by multiplying by 5280 feet, 12 inches, and 2.54 centimeters) and then convert meters to kilometers (by dividing by 1000). Choice C shows the correct conversion factors using the prefix multipliers and the given conversion factors.

Question 2

How many significant digits should be reported in the answer to the following calculation?
(4.921)+ (16.2)=

Accepted Answer

The answer should be reported to 3 significant digits because the number with the least number of significant digits in the calculation is 4.921, which has 3 significant digits.

Question 3

The prefix micro represents which multiplier?

Accepted Answer

The prefix micro represents a multiplier of 0.000001.

Question 4

What is the density of 96 mL of a liquid that has a mass of 90.5 g?

Accepted Answer

Density = mass/volume
Density = 90.5 g/96 mL = 0.94 g/mL. Therefore, the answer is (A) 0.94 g/mL.

(43.980)× (19.0023 + 25)=

Accepted Answer

The answer of How many significant digits should be reported...

Question 6

How many in³ are in 2.20 cm?

Accepted Answer

Since 1 inch = 2.54 cm and there are 12 inches in 1 foot, we can convert the given value to inches: 2.20 cm = 2.20/2.54 inches Next, we can use the conversion factor that 1 inch = 2.54 cm to convert this measurement into inches: (2.20/2.54) inches × (1 ³/0.0833 inches) = 26.397 ³ Rounding to the nearest tenth gives 26.4, but since we are asked for the number of ³ and only whole numbers of ³ are possible, we must round down to get the final answer: 26.4 ³ ≈ 26 ³ Finally, we can multiply by the conversion factor that 1 dozen (12) ³ = 1 foot: 26 ³ × (1 dozen/12) ³ = 2.1667 dozen Rounding to the nearest tenth gives 2.2 dozen ³, which is equivalent to 26.4 ³ (as calculated above). Therefore, the answer is C) 0.1340.

Question 7

The Olympic Games shot put field event uses a 16 pound (lb)shot.Identify the correct solution map to convert from pounds to kilograms using prefix multipliers and the given conversions of 16 0z = 1 lb and

Question 8

How would the number 8,155 be written in scientific notation?

Accepted Answer

The number 8,155 in scientific notation is written as 8.155 × 10^3 because you move the decimal point three places to the left to convert it to a number between 1 and 10, and multiply by 10 raised to the power of 3.

Question 9

The exponential 10⁴ is equal to which decimal number?

Accepted Answer

10^4 means 10 multiplied by itself 4 times, which equals 10,000.

Question 12

The decimal value 0.01 is equal to which exponential?

Accepted Answer

0.01 is equal to 1/100, which can be expressed as 10^-2 in exponential form.

Question 13

The exponential 10^-3 is equal to which decimal number?

Accepted Answer

The exponential 10^-3 can be rewritten as: 10^1 * (-3) * 10^-3 = 10^-2 = 0.01 Therefore, the correct option is B) 0.001.

Question 14

How would the number 1.09 × 10¹ be expressed in decimal form?

Accepted Answer

1.09 × 10^1 equals 10.9 in decimal form, as multiplying by 10 shifts the decimal point one place to the right.

Question 15

When rounding the number 2.348615 to 4 significant digits,what is the correct value?

Accepted Answer

To round to 4 significant digits, we start counting from the leftmost non-zero digit and count 4 digits from there. 
In this case, the leftmost non-zero digit is 2. 
Counting 4 digits from there gives us "2.349". 
Since the next digit after 9 is less than 5, we can simply drop it and the final answer is "2.349".

Question 16

The decimal value 10 is equal to which exponential?

Accepted Answer

10 raised to the power of 1 (10^1) equals 10.

Question 17

The multiplier 0.01 is represented by which prefix?

Accepted Answer

The prefix "centi-" represents a factor of 0.01 or 1/100th.

Question 18

How many significant digits are in the number 2903?

Accepted Answer

There are four digits in the number 2903, therefore all four digits are significant. Any non-zero digit is always significant, and zero can be significant if it is between two non-zero digits or to the right of a decimal point.

Question 19

How many significant figures should be reported in the answer to the following calculation?
(8.50)× (29.0)× (1.0947)=

Accepted Answer

When multiplying numbers, the number of significant figures in the result is determined by the number with the least significant figures among those being multiplied. In this case, 8.50 has 3 significant figures, 29.0 has 3 significant figures, and 1.0947 has 5 significant figures. Therefore, the result should be reported with 3 significant figures.

Question 20

How many inches are in 6.32 cm?

Accepted Answer

To convert cm to inches, we need to divide by 2.54. Therefore, 6.32 cm divided by 2.54 = 2.49 inches. The closest answer choice is B.
