  17. 10 miles/min is the same speed as 600 miles/hour =

  18. Wait a tick… Why does this method work? =

  19. x ÷ x = ?

  20. x ÷ x = ? ? =

  21. x ÷ x = ? 1 =

  22. This method works because when you multiply by 1 you do not change the value of the quantity. 1 =

  23. 1a. The piece of paper on your desk is 81/2 inches by 11 inches. In centimeters, how wide is the page?

  24. = cm
