Chapter 1: Problem 32

Carry out these conversions: (a) 242 lb to milligrams, (b) \(68.3 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\) to cubic meters.

Short Answer

Expert verified
(a) 242 lb is equivalent to 109669093.34 mg. (b) 68.3 cm^3 is equivalent to 0.0000683 m^3.

Step by step solution

01

Convert pounds (lb) to milligrams (mg)

Using the conversion factor of 1 pound (lb) being equivalent to 453592.37 milligrams (mg), you will multiply 242 lb by 453592.37 mg/lb. Thus: \(242 \text{ lb} \times 453592.37 \text{ mg/lb} = 109669093.34 \text{ mg}\)
02

Convert cubic centimeters (cm^3) to cubic meters (m^3)

Using the conversion factor of 1 cubic meter (m^3) being equivalent to \(1,000,000 \text{ cubic centimeters (cm^3)}\), you will divide 68.3 cm^3 by 1,000,000 cm^3/m^3. Thus: \(68.3 \text{ cm}^3 ÷ 1,000,000 \text{ cm}^3/\text{m}^3 = 0.0000683 \text{ m}^3\)
