Length
Relations of U.S. and Metric Units
• 1 in = 2.54 cm (exact)
• 1 yd = 0.9144 m (exact)
• 1 mi = 1.609 km
Relations in U.S. units
• 1 mi = 5280 ft
• 1 mi = 1760 yd
• 1 ft = 12 in
So, 3 ft = 0.9144 m

Put the decimal after the first digit.
After the decimal place,
there are 11 places left
So, we drop the zeros and
write…

Significant digit calculations
multiplication and division
When multiplying or dividing numbers, the answer
must contain the same number of significant figures
as the measurement with the lowest number of
significant figures.
(1.353) x (0.12) = 1.6
addition and subtraction
When adding or subtracting numbers, the answer
must contain the same number of decimal places as
the measurement with the lowest number of decimal
places.
(15.12) + (5.8) = 20.9
