Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Measurement: Problem 6

You can easily convert common units and measures electronically, but you still should be able to use a conversion table, such as those in Appendix D. Table 1.1 is part of a conversion table for a system of volume measures once common in Spain; a volume of 1 fanega is equivalent to \(55.501 \text{ dm}^3\) (cubic decimeters). To complete the table, what numbers (to three significant figures) should be entered in (a) the cahiz column, (b) the fanega column, (c) the cuartilla column, and (d) the almude column, starting with the top blank? Express 7.00 almudes in (e) medios, (f) cahizes, and (g) cubic centimeters (\(\text{cm}^3\)).
