The distance from Santa Maria to Los Alamos is 16.25 mi. what is the distance in meters?
I need to solve this using dimensional analysis. My conversion factors are: 0.621 mi=1.00 km and 1 km = 1000 m
please help!​

Answer:

26,167.47m

Explanation:

Problem:

We are to solve this problem using dimensional analysis:

  from the given conversion factors-

      0.621mi = 1.00km

       1km = 1000m

From the problem, we are groing from miles to metres:

      16.25mi x [tex]\frac{1km}{0.621mi}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{1000m}{1km}[/tex]

The mi will cancel out and also the km. This leaves us with the desired unit we want which is meters, m.

       =  26,167.47m
