$1\mathrm{.}2\mathrm{.}3$ You are helping your brother convert temperature readings from the centigrade to

the Fahrenheit scale. The formula is : $\backslash$deg F $=(\backslash$deg C $\backslash$times $9/5)+32$

After a few conversions, you observe that your brother still finds this problematic. You decide

to simplify the conversion and suggest using the formula: $\backslash$deg F $=(\backslash$deg C $\backslash$times $1\mathrm{.}8)+32$

You must explain why your brother needs to remember the simpler number $1\mathrm{.}8$ instead of

$9/5.$

$1\mathrm{.}2\mathrm{.}4$ You are collecting data about the houses on your street, such as the owner$$s name

and the number of people in the residence. You learn that you could simplify the task

by creating a computer data structure representing the street and making identifiable

divisions within the one structure, each identifying a house within the street structure.

What structure would you use?
