since this is chemistry class.. how about we use that dimensional analysis you've been practicing?
.. 9.0 oz.. . 1 lb.. ... 454 g... .1 cm³.. . 10 mm......(1 ft)²... ... ... .(1 in)²
---- ----- x ---- --- x ---- ---- x ---- --- x ----- ---- x --- ---- --- x ---- ---- ---- = 0.020 mm
.. 50.ft².. ..16 oz.. . .. 1 lb.... .2.70g.. .. 1 cm.. ... (12 in)².. .. (2.54 cm)².
just enter
.. 9 / 50 / 16 * 454 / 2.70 * 10 / 12² / 2.54²
in your calculator and round to 2 sig figs.

folks... we teach factor label method (aka dimensional analysis) to chemistry students for a number of very good reasons. If you don't know it, you need to learn it before you go about helping others. You can google it, open a chemistry textbook, or I cover it here. however you do it, do learn it.
