The given measurement is 1.0 km (two significant figures), which implies our result
should be written as 1.0 × 109 μm.

6. We make use of Table 1-6.
(a) We look at the first (“cahiz”) column: 1 fanega is equivalent to what amount of cahiz?
We note from the already completed part of the table that 1 cahiz equals a dozen fanega.
Thus, 1 fanega = 1
12 cahiz, or 8.33 × 10−2 cahiz. Similarly, “1 cahiz = 48 cuartilla” (in the
already completed part) implies that 1 cuartilla = 1
48 cahiz, or 2.08 × 10−2 cahiz.
Continuing in this way, the remaining entries in the first column are 6.94 × 10−3 and
3.47 10−×
3
.

2 = 0.500 for the last entry.
(b) In the second (“fanega”) column, we find 0.250, 8.33 × 10−2, and 4.17 × 10−2 for the
last three entries.
(c) In the third (“cuartilla”) column, we obtain 0.333 and 0.167 for the last two entries.
(d) Finally, in the fourth (“almude”) column, we get 1
(e) Since the conversion table indicates that 1 almude is equivalent to 2 medios, our
amount of 7.00 almudes must be equal to 14.0 medios.
(f) Using the value (1 almude = 6.94 × 10−3 cahiz) found in part (a), we conclude that
7.00 almudes is equivalent to 4.86 × 10−2 cahiz.
(g) Since each decimeter is 0.1 meter, then 55.501 cubic decimeters is equal to 0.055501
m3 or 55501 cm3. Thus, 7.00 almudes = 7.00
12 (55501 cm3) = 3.24 × 104 cm3.
7. We use the conversion factors found in Appendix D.
Since 2 in. = (1/6) ft, the volume of water that fell during the storm is
Thus,
1 acre ft = (43,560 ft ) ft = 43,560 ft

8. From Fig. 1-4, we see that 212 S is equivalent to 258 W and 212 – 32 = 180 S is
equivalent to 216 – 60 = 156 Z. The information allows us to convert S to W or Z.

11. (a) Presuming that a French decimal day is equivalent to a regular day, then the ratio
of weeks is simply 10/7 or (to 3 significant figures) 1.43.
(b) In a regular day, there are 86400 seconds, but in the French system described in the
problem, there would be 105 seconds. The ratio is therefore 0.864.

15. A week is 7 days, each of which has 24 hours, and an hour is equivalent to 3600
seconds. Thus, two weeks (a fortnight) is 1209600 s. By definition of the micro prefix,
this is roughly 1.21 × 1012 μs.

(a) Multiplying f by the time-interval t = 7.00 days (which is equivalent to 604800 s, if
we ignore significant figure considerations for a moment), we obtain the number of

specified in the problem to three significant figures.
(b) We note that the problem specifies the exact number of pulsar revolutions (one
million). In this case, our unknown is t, and an equation similar to the one we set up in
