If a truck driver were calculating the distance needed to get from one location to another, why is it important that he correctly convert from the U.S. to the metric system? Give a specific example of the errors that could occur if the driver fails to do this.

Question

roadjester · Answer

How is this biology? Anyways, you need to convert correctly because for example the driver is travelling a distance, 1 meter is about 1 yard, and 1 mile is about 1760 yards. Incorrect distance could result in the driver not going far enough, or going  too far.
