2. To compute for the amount of water your body needs everyday (in ounces), your weight in lbs. should be multiplied by 2 and
divided by 3. Three roommates Jisung, Minho, and Christopher weighs 60.0 kg, 66.0 kg, and 65.0 kg respectively. How much
water do they need every month (in liters)? Use all of the given conversion factors in your solution.
(1 kg = 2.205 lbs.) (1 L = 33.814 oz.)
Given: Needed:
Jisung Weight = 60.0kg How much water do they need in Liters?
Minho Weight = 66.0kg Conversion rates:
Christopher Weight = 65.0kg (1 kg = 2.205 lbs.) (1 L = 33.814 oz.)

Respective:
Jisung:
2.205lbs 2 1L
60.0kg * = 132lbs * = 88.0oz * = 2.60 L

then they need 8.31 L of water.

3. The best cooking oils should have a high smoke point, this means they can stand up against high heat and are better suited
for cooking at higher temperatures. Canola oil has an approximate smoke point of 477.15 K. Sunflower oil has an approximate
smoke point of 232.0 °C. Olive oil has a smoke point of 480.37 K. A high smoke point is at 400 °F and higher. Which of these
cooking oils is the best when it comes to smoke point?

Given: Needed:
Canola Oil smoking-point = 477.15K What oil is the best in terms of smoking-point?

The best cooking oil in terms of a higher smoking-point is Sunflower oil with 449.6 oF as it’s smoking-point.
4. The largest dam in the world, the Three Gorges Dam, has a volumetric flow rate of about 34,000 ft 3/s. The largest dam in the
Philippines, the San Roque Dam, has an estimated discharge of 84.5 m3/s. What is the difference in flow rate of the two
structures in cm3/min?

Given: Needed:
Three Gorges Dam, volumetric flow rate = 34,000ft3/s difference in flow rate between the two structures in cm3/min
San Roque Dam, volumetric flow rate = 84.5m3/s Conversion rates:
