The dimensions should be 1 2/3 feet by 1 1/2 feet.
To find these amounts, we simply multiply the length of the snake by the given fraction.
For the length, multiply by 2/3.
For the width, multiply by 1/2.
Significant figures tells us that about how may digits we can count on to be precise given the uncertainty in our calculations or data measurements.
Since, one inch = 2.54 cm.
This is equivalent as saying that 1.0000000.. inch = 2.540000... cm.
Since the inch to cm conversion doesn't add any uncertainty, so we are free to keep any and all the significant figures.
Since, being an exact number, it has an unlimited number of significant figures and thus when we convert inch to cm we multiply two exact quantities together. Therefore, it will have infinite number of significant figures.
The best thing to do is to rewrite the fractions as decimals
-2/3 is approx. equal to -0.6666667
So a little past half way (to the left) between -1 and 0
1 1/5 is 1.5 so that is right between 1 and 2
Hope this helps :)
63.24 is equivalent to 63.240.
The answer would be -21.6
