I'm having trouble on these two problems:
1) A runner wants to run 10.0 km. She knows that her running pace iss 7.5 miles per hour. How many minutes must she run?
Here is what I did:
10 km/1=.6214 mi/1 km. The km cancel out and I get 6.214 mi. Then I took 6.214 mi/1=1 hr/7.5 mi, the mi cancel out and I got .83. My next step was .83 hour/1=60 min/1 hour. The hours cancel out and I got 49.8 min as an answer. My book had an answer of 5.0 X 10^1 min and I'm not sure how they got that.
2) The density of titanium is 4.51 g/cm^3. What is the volume (in cubic inches) of 3.5 lb of titanium?
On this one, I know that Density=Mass/Volume. But here, I'm not sure where to start.
