Convert to an appropriate metric unit so that the numerical expression in the given measure does not contain any zeros. \(0.0002 \mathrm{~km}\)
Although Alaska is the least densely populated state, over \(90 \%\) of its land is protected federal property that is off-limits to settlement. A resident of Anchorage, Alaska, might feel hemmed in. In terms of "elbow room," what other important factor must be considered when calculating a state's population density?
Use the following English and metric equivalents, along with dimensional analysis, to convert the given measurement to the unit indicated.English and Metric Equivalents$$\begin{aligned}&1 \text { in. }=2.54 \mathrm{~cm} \\\&1 \mathrm{ft}=30.48 \mathrm{~cm} \\\&1 \mathrm{yd} \approx 0.9 \mathrm{~m} \\\&1 \mathrm{mi} \approx 1.6 \mathrm{~km}\end{aligned}$$ \(14 \mathrm{~cm}\) to in.

Use the following equivalents, along with dimensional analysis, to convert the given measurement to the unit indicated. When necessary, round answers to two decimal places.$$\begin{aligned}16 \mathrm{oz} &=1 \mathrm{lb} \\\2000 \mathrm{lb} &=1 \mathrm{~T} \\\1 \mathrm{oz} & \approx 28 \mathrm{~g} \\\1 \mathrm{lb} & \approx 0.45 \mathrm{~kg} \\\1 \mathrm{~T} & \approx 0.9 \mathrm{t}\end{aligned}$$ \(26 \mathrm{oz}\) to \(\mathrm{lb}\)
