4.A football player ran 18 yards on a play. How many inches did they run?

Answer 1

1. 1 baked potato – 0.0310 g of vitamin C

5.0 lb bag of potatoes – 15 potatoes

5.0 lb = 80 ounces

2.4*15/80 = 0.45 potato

Vitamin C = 0.45*0.0310 g = 0.01395 g = 13.95 mg

2. 1 ml = 0.0021134 pint

25.5 ml = 0.0539 pints

3. 5.26 cm3 = 0.00139 gallons

4. 1 yard = 36 inches

18 yards = 648 inches
