I recently got back from my vacation to the beautiful Riviera Maya in
Mexico. On the way from the airport to our hotel, I looked at the speedometer of
our driver and saw his speed was over 100. Freaking out a little, I did a double
take. That is when I noticed it was not miles per hour; It was kilometers per
hour. The MathNut in me got really excited that I could use this in the
classroom. The speed limit was 100 Km/h.
When we got to the hotel, the thermostat was in degrees Celsius. Since I
like it nice and cool, I kept it a 19˚. Possible
Questions: How fast was my driver going in mile per/ hour? How cold was my room
in degree Fahrenheit?
