Question

You can easily convert common units and measures electronically, but you still should be able to use a conversion table, such as those in Appendix D. The table below is part of a conversion table for a system of volume measures once common in Spain; a volume of 1 fanega is equivalent to 55.501 dm^3 (cubic decimeters). Complete this table. Express 14.0 almude in terms of medio. _____________ medio Express this in cahiz. ____________ cahiz Express this in cubic centimeters (cm^3). _____________ cm^3

Explanation / Answer

a)

1 almude = 2 medio

So, 14 almude = 2*14 = 28 medio

b)

1 almude = 0.00694 cahiz

So, 14 almude = 0.00694*14 cahiz = 0.0916 cahiz

c)

1 cahiz = 12 fanega

1 fanega = 55.501 dm^3

So, 1 cahiz = 12*55.501 dm^3

1 dm = 10 cm

So, 1 cahiz = 12*55.501*10^3 cm^3 = 6.66*10^5 cm^3

14 almude = 0.0916 cahiz = 0.0916*6.66*10^5 cm^3 = 6.1*10^4 cm^3 <----- answer
