Units
For number 8 of the Practice quiz, when I calculated the answer it came out to be in seconds, but the answer provided was in minutes. Is it necessary to always convert the answer to minutes when they are asking for time. Or does it not matter if we have either seconds or minutes?

Re: Units
It should not matter which units you use in your answer as long as the value is correct and corresponds to the units you use. I noticed in the textbook that if they usually have the answers in the units that they provided in the question!

Unless the question specifically asks you to state your answer in a particular unit, it does not matter what units you choose to use.

So essentially you choose?

Re: Units
I leave it at seconds unless it is stipulated that minutes or any other time measurement is used instead.
