HW to submit on Wednesday (A) and Thursday (E)

Show all of your work, please.  Write out your work, or if you work on a computer, print it out.


1.  How many toilets are there in all of the major league football stadiums, baseball parks, and basketball arenas in the USA?

2.  Create a conversion factor to convert from (1) inches per second to AU (Astronomical Unit) per moment.  A moment is a medieval unit of time equal to 1.5 minutes (or 1/40 of an hour), and an AU is used to represent astronomical distances (and is half the longest length of Earth's orbitequal to 1.5 x 10^11 m).

3.  How many times will you blink in your lifetime?


Also, find out this information:  what are the dimensions for the trip from your house to school?  Give the distance and the time.  This is not part of  your homework to turn in, but rather a place to start our next class discussion.  Feel free to use Google Maps, or the data from an actual car trip.
