SOLUTION TO PRACTICE MIDTERM #1

1. I will take the 36th pill 35*10 = 350 days after I take
   the first pill.  That's 365-350=15 days before 2/23/07, 
   which is 2/8/07.

2. The unit price for the 5-ounce bottle is $3 / 5 oz, or 
   0.6 $/oz (60 cents per ounce).  The unit price of the
   8-ounce bottle is $5 / 8 oz, or 0.625 $/oz (62.5 cents 
   per ounce).  The smaller bottle is a better deal.

3. false cause or hasty generalization (both are acceptable)

4. personal attack

5. (990 ft / day) (1 furlong / 660 ft) (14 days / fornight)
   = (990)*(14)/(660) = 21, which is about 20.

6. (100 Euros) ($1.169 US / Euro) = $116.90 US, and
   ($100 CAN) ($1 US / $1.336 CAN) = $74.85 US, so 
   altogether we can get $116.90+$74.85 = $191.75, or 
   (to the nearest dollar) $192.

7. (0.5 gallons) (8 liquid pints / gallon) = 4 liquid pints.
   (4 liquid pints) (28.88 cu in / liquid pint) (dry pint / 33.60 cu in)
   =  3.438 dry pints.  To the nearest whole number, this is 3 dry pints.

8. (3 gallons / day) (1 cu ft / 7.5 gallons) ($2.50 / 100 cu ft)
   = $0.01/day.
