You know that there are 1,609 meters in a mile. the number of feet in a mile is 5,280. use these equalities to
answer the following problems:
a. how many centimeters equals one inch?
b. what is the speed of the snail in problem 7 in inches per minute?

Part a).

You said that 1,609 meters = 5,280 feet

We know that 1 meter = 100 centimeters, and 1 foot = 12 inches.

So (1,609 meters) x (100 centimeters/meter) = (5,280 feet) x (12 inches/foot)

The second fraction on each side of the equation is equal to ' 1 ', because
the numerator is equal to the denominator, so sticking it in there doesn't
change the value of that side of the equation. But now we can cancel some
units,and wind up with the units we need.

   (1,609 meters) x (100 centimeters/meter) = (5,280 feet) x (12 inches/foot)

   (1,609 x100) centimeters = (5,280 x 12) inches

   160,900 centimeters = 63,360 inches

Divide each side by 63,360 : 2.54 centimeters = 1 inch

part b).

I haven't seen the snail, or anything else in problem 7,
so there's no way I can answer this part.

Answer from: Quest

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water

The pressure, volume, and temperature of a mole of an ideal gas are related by the equation pv = 8.31t, where p is measured in kilopascals, v in liters, and t in kelvins. use differentials to find the approximate change in the pressure if the volume increases from 14 l to 14.6 l and the temperature decreases from 375 k to 370 k. (round the answer to two decimal places.)
