Question

Programming can be used to assist users in completing complex calculations very quickly. As seen in class practices, we were able to calculate the area of geometric shapes, figure out the number of calories in cookies, and even calculate a restaurant bill.
For this assignment, you will take input from the user to provide interactive messages and to solve the following word problem:
Engineers often need to convert between different types of units to perform calculations that follow standard formulas. One very common conversion involves converting distances. List the steps, by writing pseudocode, which explains how you would ask the user to provide the distance in miles and would display: 1) The distance in kilometers, 2) the distance in feet, 3) the distance in yards.
Example:
The program asks the user to provide their name and displays a greeting message that explains its purpose. The program requests the distance in miles. The user provides the number 158 for miles. The program calculates and displays the results of 1) 254.28 kilometers, 2) 834240 feet, 3) 278080 yards

could you show me the programming using the pseudocode at idle? little confused

Answer 1

Take the input from user ( let say x )

Since 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 mile = 1760 yard

So for mile to kilo multiply x by 1.6

for feet multiply x by 5280

for feet multiply x by 1760

Python code

distance_in_mile = int(input("Enter the distance in mile\n"))

dis_in_kilo  = distance_in_mile * 1.6

dis_in_feet  = distance_in_mile * 5280

dis_in_yard  = distance_in_mile * 1760

print("Distance in kilometer is {}, distance in feet is {}, distance in yard is {}".format(dis_in_kilo,dis_in_feet,dis_in_yard))
