Question:
3. You meet a person who claims to be a Klingon (a "Star Trek" alien) at the Holiday Inn on campus. Unfortunately for you, this "Klingon" only respects and responds to Klingon units of length. The relevant Klingon length units are Kellicams (which is equivalent to 1.96 kilometers) and Uj (which is equivalent to 35 centimeters). The "Klingon" wants to walk from the Holiday Inn to the Glenbrook Square Mall. Make a simple internet search and find that the walking distance is 1.28 miles.
a) Approximate 1.28 miles as a WHOLE NUMBER of Kellicams PLUS a WHOLE NUMBER of Uj. MAKE SURE YOU SHOW YOUR METHOD!
b) Given that the distance of 1.28 miles was an approximate distance (perhaps as far off as 1.275 miles to just under 1.285 miles), make a reasonable estimate as to how many Uj you might be off by. This "Klingon" claims to have equipment that can measure the distance to the nearest Uj and claims you will have great misfortune if your value is too far off. MAKE SURE YOU EXPLAIN HOW YOU CAME UP WITH THIS VALUE
