Question

A new system of units is invented where the basic unit of length is the "dak." The "dak" is defined as equal to 3 inches, and there are 2.54 centimeters in an inch. How many "daks" are there in a centimeter.

Answer 1

Answer:

1 cm = 0.131 daks

Explanation:

It is given that,

1 dak = 3 inches

and

1 inch = 2.54 cm

We need to find how many "daks" are there in a centimeter. We can do the conversions as follows :

$1\ dak=1\ dak\times \dfrac{3\ inches}{1\ dak}\times \dfrac{2.54\ cm}{1\ inch}$

$1\ dak=7.62\ cm$

$1\ cm=\dfrac{1}{7.62}\ dak$

1 cm = 0.131 dak

So, there are 0.131 daks in 1 centimeter. Hence, this is the required solution.
