Let's go through each question one by one:
Question 1
Convert 596,853 seconds into days.
1 day = 24 hours = 24 × 60 minutes = 24 × 60 × 60 seconds = 86,400 seconds.
Now calculate: \[ \text{Days} = \frac{596,853 \text{ seconds}}{86,400 \text{ seconds/day}} \approx 6.91 \text{ days} \]
Answer: 6.91 days
Question 2
To convert 18 meters to yards:
Given that 1 meter = 1.09361 yards, to convert we multiply.
Answer: Multiply 18 m by 1.09361 yd (The correct option wasn't listed, so here it should be multiplication by 1.09361, not 0.09361)
Question 3
Ken is buying wallpaper. It costs $6.49 per meter. He needs 512 feet.
To find out how many meters he needs: \[ \text{Meters} = \frac{512 \text{ feet}}{3.28 \text{ feet/meter}} \approx 156.0976 \text{ meters} \]
Now calculate the cost: \[ \text{Cost} = 156.0976 \text{ meters} \times 6.49 \text{ dollars/meter} \approx 1,013.10 \text{ dollars} \]
Answer: $1,013.10
Question 4
The unit rate is 2 quints per 1 quart.
1 quint = 2 pints, so 2 quints = 4 pints.
The number of quarts in 44 pints: \[ \text{Quarts} = \frac{44 \text{ pints}}{4 \text{ pints/quart}} = 11 \text{ quarts} \] (Note: There seems to be a discrepancy between the provided answers; 44 pints converts to 11 quarts, which isn't listed. Therefore, the question likely has misprint options. It should be checked for accuracy.)
None of the options provided are correct; based on the relationships given, it should be 11 quarts.
Question 5
When cooking rice, the grain is 1/2 of the part to water.
This is expressed as: Rice:Water = 1:2
Answer: Rice:Water = 1:2
Question 6
Both the Celsius and Fahrenheit formulas are needed to convert between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Answer: True
Question 7
If the scale of the map is 3 inches = 1 mile and the distance on the map is 15 inches, the actual distance is: \[ \text{Miles} = \frac{15 \text{ inches}}{3 \text{ inches/mile}} = 5 \text{ miles} \]
Answer: 5 miles
Question 8
To find the height of a male giraffe from 5.5 meters to feet: \[ \text{Feet} = 5.5 \text{ meters} \times 3 \text{ feet/meter} = 16.5 \text{ feet} \]
Rounded to the nearest tens, it is 20 feet.
None of the provided options match; it should be 20 feet. (Please recheck for accuracy)
Question 9
To convert 10 kilograms to pounds using the conversion factor of 2.20462:
- Method 1: Multiply 10 kg by 2.20462.
- Method 2: Cross multiply the proportion.
Answer: Multiply 10 by 2.20462 pounds and Cross multiply the proportion.
Please confirm the discrepancies in Questions 4 and 8 and check if all answer options were completely written out.
