Question

Bradley estimated the height of a tree at 2.5 meters. Carla estimated that tree's height at 8 feet.

Answer 1

Answer: 4.1 feet : 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Bradley estimated the height of a tree at 2.5 meters. Carla estimated that tree's height at 8 feet.

The conversion ratio be used to compare Bradley's and Carla's estimates of the tree's height when measured in feet goes thus:

Since 1 feet = 0.305 meters

2.5 meters will be = 2.5/0.305 = 8.2 feet

Therefore the conversion ratio will be:.

= 8.2 : 8

Reducing to lowest term will be

= 4.1 feet : 4 feet.

= 4.1 : 4
