Problem 13
<h3>Answer:
122 cm</h3>
------------------
Explanation:
It's not mentioned, but keep in mind that 1 foot is equivalent to 12 inches. This means that 48 inches is equal to 48/12 = 4 feet. So you must be 4 feet tall, or taller, to be able to ride the roller coaster.
To convert this to centimeters, we multiply by 30.48 to get 4*30.48 = 121.92 cm, which then rounds to 122 cm

Problem 14
<h3>Answer: Approximately 57 liters</h3>
------------------
Explanation:
1 gallon = 16 cups
Note how 240/16 = 15, which means we can multiply both sides of that equation above by 15 and we end up with
15*(1 gallon) = 15*(16 cups)
15 gallons = 240 cups
The water cooler is 15 gallons.
Multiply this by 3.8, since there are about 3.8 liters per gallon, and we end up with the answer of 3.8*15 = 57 liters
This answer is approximate since the 3.8 was approximate.
==========================================================
Problem 15
<h3>Answer: Approximately 234 inches</h3>
------------------
Explanation:
1 meter = 100 cm
6 meters = 600 cm (multiply both sides by 6)
1 cm = 0.39 inches
600*(1 cm) = 600*(0.39 inches)
600 cm = 234 inches
This answer is approximate because the 0.39 was approximate.
