A gasoline station in Manila, Philippines, charges 38.46 pesos per liter of unleaded gasoline at a time when one US. dollar (USD) buys 47.15 pesos (PHP). The car you are driving has a gas tank with a capacity of 14 U.S. gallons and gets 24 miles per gallon. (a) What is the cost of unleaded gasoline in Manila in USD per gallon? (b) How much would a tankful of unleaded gasoline for your car cost in USD? (c) Suppose that you have only PHP 1255 (a day's wage for an elementary school teacher) and the car's tank is almost empty.

1.88 Legend has it that Archimedes, a famous scientist of Ancient Greece, was once commanded by the king to determine if a crown he received was pure gold or a gold—silver alloy. He was not allowed, however, to damage the crown (by slicing off a piece, for example). If you were assigned this same task, what would you need to know about both gold and silver, and how would you make a measurement that would tell you if the crown was pure gold?
1.89 Imagine that you place a cork measuring 1.30cm4.50cm3.00cm in a pan of water. On top of this cork, you place a small cube of lead measuring 1.15 cm on a side. Describe how you would determine if the combination of the cork and lead cube will still float in the water. Note any information you would need to look up to answer the question.
On the planet Xgnu, the most common units of length are the blim (for long distances) and the kryll (for shorter distances). Because the Xgnuese have 14 fingers, perhaps it is not surprising that 1400 kryll = 1 blim. Two cities on Xgnu are 36.2 bum apart. What is this distance in kryll? The average Xgnuese is 170 kryll tall. What is this height in bums? This hook is presently being used at Xgnu University. The area of the cover of this book is 72.5 square krylls. What is its area in square bums?
