Express the quantity 254,998 m in each unit.a. km b. Mm c. mm d. cm
34. Convert 4.58 x 10³ cm³ to each
unit.
a. L
b. mL
c. gal
d. qt
The m in the equation for density is
in italic type, meaning that it stands
for mass rather than for meters. In
general, the symbols for units such
as meters (m), seconds (s), or
kelvins (K) appear in regular type,
while those for variables such as
mass (m), volume (V), and time (t)
appear in italics.
