5. A Henry M. Jackson High School student is applying to college and wondering how
many applications she needs to send. Her counselor explained that with the excellent
grade she received in AP Chemistry, she would probably be accepted to one school out
of every three to which she applied [3 applications = 1 acceptance]. She immediately
realized that for each application she would have to write 3 essays and each essay
would require 2 hours of work. Of course writing essays is no simple matter. For each
hour of serious essay writing, she would need to expend 500 calories which she could
derive from her mother’s apple pies. Luckily, every 3 times she cleans her bedroom, her
mother makes her an apple pie and each pie contains 1,000 calories. How many times
would she have to clean her room in order to gain acceptance to 10 colleges?

6. A refinery produces a gold bar which weighs 6.75 lbs. The gold is shaped into a cone
which has a radius of 956 cm. What is the height of the cone, in meters, created from the
gold? The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3. (assume that the cone is a regular right cone
whose volume can be obtained from the formula V = ⅓ πr2h, where r is its radius and h
is its height. Also note that 1 kg = 2.2 lbs). Include appropriate units and significant
figures! ②
