Answer 1

(a) 1 miles = 1.609 km

326 miles = 326*1.609 = 524.534 km​​​​​​

1 km = 1000 m

326 miles = 524.534 km = 5.245*10^5 m

1 m = 100 cm

326 miles = 524.534 km = 5.245*10^5 m = 5.245*10^7 cm

(b) 1 feet = 0.000305 km

1043.2 ft = 1043.2 * 0.000305 km = 0.318176 km​​​​​​

1043.2 ft = 0.318176 km = 318.176 m = 3.18*10^4 cm
