With a wooden ruler, you measure the length of a rectangular piece of sheet metal to be 12 mmmm. With micrometer calipers, you measure the width of the rectangle to be 6.98 mmmm. Give your answers to the following questions using the correct number of significant figures.
The distance around the Earth's equator is 40,077 kilometers, and the population of the United States
in 1,950 was approximately 150,000,000 people. If this many people were spaced equally around the
equator, what would be the length of the space each person would have to the nearest centimeter?
The approximate length the space would be
cm.
I'm not understanding how you are getting the v in this problem. I understand you multiply the inverse of 1/v, but can't understand what v is and how you determine that number?
