Question

You can easily convert common units and measures electronically,but you still should be able to use a conversion table, such asthose in Appendix D. The table below is part of a conversion tablefor a system of volume measures once common in Spain; a volume of 1fanega is equivalent to 55.501 dm3 (cubic decimeters). (a) Complete this table. cahiz fanega cuartilla almude medio 1 cahiz = 1 12 48 144 288 1 fanega = 1 1 4 12 24 1 cuartilla = 2 3 1 3 6 1 almude = 4 5 6 1 2 1 medio = 7 8 9 10 1
(b) Express 50.00 almude in terms ofmedio.
11 medio

(c) Express this in cahiz.
12 cahiz

(d) Express this in cubic centimeters (cm3).
13 cm3 (a) Complete this table. cahiz fanega cuartilla almude medio 1 cahiz = 1 12 48 144 288 1 fanega = 1 1 4 12 24 1 cuartilla = 2 3 1 3 6 1 almude = 4 5 6 1 2 1 medio = 7 8 9 10 1
(b) Express 50.00 almude in terms ofmedio.
11 medio

(c) Express this in cahiz.
12 cahiz

(d) Express this in cubic centimeters (cm3).
13 cm3 cahiz fanega cuartilla almude medio 1 cahiz = 1 12 48 144 288 1 fanega = 1 1 4 12 24 1 cuartilla = 2 3 1 3 6 1 almude = 4 5 6 1 2 1 medio = 7 8 9 10 1

Explanation / Answer

This means that 1 fanega = 1/12 cahiz. Similarly, anymissing number is just "1 over" the corresponding muber in thetable:
1 12    48 144   288 1/12 1    4 12    24 1/48 1/4    1 3    6 1/144 1/12 1/3    1 2 1/288 1/24 1/6    1/2 1
b) 6 almude = 6*2 medio = 12 medio c) 6 almude = 6/144 cahiz = 1/24 cahiz d) 6 almude = 6/12 fanega = 1/2 fanega = 1/2*55.505 dm^3 =27.7505 dm^3 = 27750.5 cm^3
