Question

A set of civil construction plans shows a distance of 131 meters across the front of a piece of property. You need to convert this value to feet. You know that one foot equals approximately 0.305 meters. What is the distance in​ feet, to the nearest tenth of a​ foot?

Answer 1

Answer:

429.5 ft

Explanation:

We are told that;

1 ft = 0.305 meters

We want to convert 131 meters to ft, by proportion we have;

Distance = (131 × 1)/0.305

Distance = 429.5082 ft

We want to approximate to the nearest tenth of a foot.

This gives us;

Distance = 429.5 ft
