Answer 1

Hello there,

So the question is asking to change the feet into inches and inorder to that we need to know how many inches go into one feet...

 - 1 ft = 12 inch

Now that we know that we need to change the feet into inches by multiplying 12.1 by 12...

• 12.1 x 12 = 145.2 inches

The question asked to have the same amount of significant digits as the original...

• the original has 3 and the answer at the moment has 4

Your answer would be 145 inches.

Hope I helped,
