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
