Question

the table below shows the measurements you took in an experiment.
trial length (miles)
1 1.3
2 3.2
3 0.9
4 1.8
what is the shortest measurement you made, in si units? 1 mi = 1.61 km.
a. 5.2 km
b. 1.4 km
c. 7.2 km
d. 3.2 km

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the shortest length in miles

The shortest length in miles from the table is $0.9$ miles.

Step2: Convert miles to kilometers

Use the conversion factor $1\ mi = 1.61\ km$. So, $0.9\ mi\times1.61\ km/mi = 1.449\ km\approx1.4\ km$.

Answer:

B. 1.4 km
