Question

Part A: Explain why we do not measure the speed at which a car travels in cm per second? In your explanation, use reasoning based on appropriate units to model this situation.

Answer 2

its 5 points and i don't understand it :(

Answer 3

PART A: it's logical. if a car was traveling 50 mph, would we want to say it travels 8046720 centimeters an hour>

Answer 4

Part b: the quantity must be in mph, and can be converted based on what unit they give you. 8046720cm=50 mph with conversion

Answer 5

so would the 2 quantitates be miles and how many hours.

Answer 6

*quantities

Answer 7

2 quantities: logical measurments of the unit of time, distance

Answer 8

which would be hours, miles

Answer 9

and how can the rate be converted ?

Answer 10

Answer 11

based on unit of measurements. for example 5280ft=1mile

Answer 12

im sure some people do....
