1. Convert 0.000924 to exponential form and explain your answer.
2. Convert 8.32 x 102 to ordinary form and explain your answer.
1. Convert 0.000924 = smaller than 1 = negative exponent, move decimal 4 places = 9.24 x 10-4
2. Convert 8.32 x 102 = positive exponent = larger than 1, move decimal 2 places = 832

Using the following information, do the conversions shown below, showing all work:
1 ft = 12 inches 1 pound = 16 oz 1 gallon = 4 quarts
1 mile = 5280 feet 1 ton = 2000 pounds 1 quart = 2 pints
kilo (= 1000) milli (= 1/1000) centi (= 1/100) deci (= 1/10)
1. 25.6 mg = ? grams
2. 1.5 gal = ? qts
1. 25.6 mg x 1 g / 1000 mg = 0.0256 grams
2. 1.5 gal x 4 qts / 1 gal = 6.0 qts

Do the conversions shown below, showing all work:
1. 246oK = ? oC
2. 45oC = ? oF
3. 18oF = ? oK
1. 246oK - 273 = -27 oC o
K → oC (make smaller) -273
2. 45oC x 1.8 + 32 = 113 oF o
C → oF (make larger) x 1.8 + 32
3. 18oF - 32 ÷ 1.8 = -7.8 + 273 = 265.2 oK o
F → oC → oK

Be sure to show the correct number of significant figures in each calculation.
1. Show the calculation of the mass of a 18.6 ml sample of freon with density of 1.49 g/ml
2. Show the calculation of the density of crude oil if 26.3 g occupies 30.5 ml.
1. M = D x V = 1.49 x 18.6 = 27.7 g
2. D = M / V = 26..5 = 0.862 g/ml

1. 0.0756 contains? significant figures.
2. 1.235 contains? significant figures.
3. 0.0756 + 1.235 =? (give answer to correct number of significant figures)
1. 0.0756 contains 3 significant figures
2. 1.235 contains 4 significant figures
3. 0.0756 + 1.235 = 1.3106 = 1.311 (to the thousands place for 1.235)
The last digit should round to a 1
