Use the unit conversion tables found on pages 89, 91, and 93 of the textbook to complete parts
(a), (b), and (c). Show your work and write the equivalence you are using. (For example, if I used
the conversion between pounds an kilograms in my work, I would write 1 kg = 2.205 lb to the
side of my work).
