Question

Express 79 m in units of (a) centimeters

Answer 1

Answer: a) 7,00 centimeters

(b) 259. 19 feet

(c) 3110.28 inches

(d) 0.049 miles

Explanation:

(a) We know that 1 meter = 100 centimeters

Therefore,

$79\ m= 7,900\text{ centimeters}$

(b)Since 1 meter = 3.28084 feet

Then, $79\ m= 79\times3.28084=259.18636\approx 259.19\text{ feet}$

(c) Since, 1 feet = 12 inches.

$79\ m=259.19\text{ feet}=259.19\times12=3110.28\text{ inches}$

(d) $\text{Since 1 feet= }\dfrac{1}{5280}\text{ mile}$

$79\ m=259.19\text{ feet}=\dfrac{259.19}{5280}= 0.0490890151515\approx0.049\text{ miles}$
