HSN.Q Tutor Intake -- Units, Quantities, and Accuracy

This short check helps your tutor understand where to start. Answer each
question without help. If you're not sure, give your best try — the goal
is to find what to work on together, not to grade you.

Concepts

1

A factory produces widgets at a rate of 150 widgets per hour.
Each widget uses 0.5 kg of raw material. The factory runs for
8 hours. A student wants to find the total kilograms of raw
material used. Before computing, which unit analysis shows that
multiplication of all three quantities gives kilograms?

2

Two neighborhoods are being compared for income per resident.
Neighborhood A has a total annual income of $5,000,000 and a
population of 500 people. Neighborhood B has a total annual income
of $3,000,000 and a population of 200 people.
Compute the per-capita income (dollars per resident) for
Neighborhood B. Enter a number.

3

A digital scale is calibrated to read exactly 0 g when empty.
A technician measures a 100.000 g reference mass five times and
records: 102.3 g, 102.4 g, 102.3 g, 102.3 g, 102.4 g.
Which statement correctly describes these measurements?

Procedures

1

A student needs to convert 45 miles per hour to meters per second.
Known equivalences: 1 mile = 1,609 meters; 1 hour = 3,600 seconds.
Which dimensional analysis chain is set up correctly so that
unwanted units cancel and meters/second remains?

2

A car travels at 60 miles per hour. Convert this speed to
kilometers per hour. Use the fact that 1 mile = 1.609 km.
Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

3

The formula for distance is d=r×td = r \times t, where rr is speed
in km/h and tt is time. A car travels at r=80r = 80 km/h. A student
is given t=90t = 90 minutes and computes d=80×90=7,200d = 80 \times 90 = 7{,}200.
What is wrong with this calculation?

4

How many significant figures does the measurement 0.00470 km
contain?

5

A rectangle is measured as 4.2 m wide and 6.84 m long.
Using significant figure rules for multiplication, what should
the area be reported as? Enter a number (in m²).

6

A student adds two measured lengths: 1,000 m (measured to the
nearest meter) and 1.23 m (measured to the nearest 0.01 m).
Applying the correct significant-figure rule for addition, what
should the sum be reported as?
