86 A solution was found to be 1.3% alum. How many milligrams per liter of alum are in the solution? 10,000 mg/L = X 1% 1.3% 10,000 mg/L (1.3) = X 13000 mg/L = x 10,000 mg/L = X 1% 1.3% 10,000 mg/L (1.3) = X 13000 mg/L = x 1.13,000 mg/L 2.1.3 mg/L 3.130,000 mg/L 4.I don’t know 1.13,000 mg/L 2.1.3 mg/L 3.130,000 mg/L 4.I don’t know

87 Basic Math Conversions Temperature Conversions

88 o F= (9 * o C) + 32 5 o F= (9 * o C) + 32 5 o C= 5 * ( o F – 32) 9 o C= 5 * ( o F – 32) 9 Convert 17 o C to Fahrenheit Convert 451 o F to degrees Celsius o F= (9 *17)+32=62.6 o F= 63 o F 5 o F= (9 *17)+32=62.6 o F= 63 o F 5 Celsius to Fahrenheit 1. Begin by multiplying the Celsius temperature by 9. 2. Divide the answer by 5. 3. Now add 32. Celsius to Fahrenheit 1. Begin by multiplying the Celsius temperature by 9. 2. Divide the answer by 5. 3. Now add 32. Fahrenheit to Celsius 1. Begin by subtracting 32 from the Fahrenheit #. 2. Divide the answer by 9. 4. Then multiply that answer by 5. Fahrenheit to Celsius 1. Begin by subtracting 32 from the Fahrenheit #. 2. Divide the answer by 9. 4. Then multiply that answer by 5. o C= 5* ( o F -32)=232.7 oC = 233 o C 9 o C= 5* ( o F -32)=232.7 oC = 233 o C 9
