Respuesta :

The claim that the distance from Jackson to Tucson which is 1,356 miles is further than the distance from Ottawa, Canada to Jackson Mississippi which is 1,450 miles is not correct because;

The distance from Jackson to Tucson 1,356 miles  1,450 miles which is the distance from Jackson to Ottawa

How to do unit conversions?

A) Using unit conversion, we will discover that;

1 mile = 1,760 yards

The best unit would be in miles since we are told that the distance from Ottawa, Canada to Jackson Mississippi is 2,552,000 yards.

B) The number of significant digits in the reporters estimate are the non-zero digits before the zeros in the number figure which are 2, 5, 5, and 2 or 4 significant figures

C) Using our conversion from miles to yards and vice versa in Answer A above, we can say that;

2,552,000 yards = 2,552,000 yards/(1,760 yards/mile) = 1,450 miles

D) We are told that the distance from Jackson to Tucson is 7,159,680 feet. From the conversion rate of; 1 mile = 5,280 feet, we have;

7,159,680 feet = 7,159,680 feet/(5,280 feet/mile) = 1,356 miles

Therefore, the claim that the distance from Jackson to Tucson which is 1,356 miles is further than the distance from Ottawa, Canada to Jackson Mississippi which is 1,450 miles is not correct because;

The distance from Jackson to Tucson 1,356 miles  1,450 miles which is the distance from Jackson to Ottawa
