Problem 49077. Velocity Conversion

Why can't I pass the first test ?

The statute mile was standardised between the Commonwealth of Nations and the United States by an international agreement in 1959, when it was formally redefined with respect to SI units as exactly 1,609.344 metres.

DO NOT EVEN BOTHER WITH THIS GUY'S PROBLEM SET

He is basing all of these "conversion" calculations on dodgy conversion factors, rather than unit cancellation. For example, converting square feet to square meters *should be* squaring the conversion factor between feet and meters and multiplying by that, rather than memorizing another different magic number for area. What about volume? Do we have to memorize another magic number for volume, and have it be off by precisely as much as this guy expects it to be off by? Besides, even if the goal of unit conversion in this guy's mind is to memorize a bunch of different multiplication factors, they won't be right because he insists on exact equality rather than within a tolerance.

Instead of this nonsense, go do a problem set written by someone who understands the material and understands how to do unit tests
