Jane has her height measured using a metric ruler as 1.6 meters. She would like to know her height in inches. She knows that there are 100 centimeters in a meter and 2.54 centimeters in an inch.

Now, to find jane's height to the nearest inch.

The height of Jane measured using metric ruler = 1.6 meters.

As, 1 meter = 100 centimeters.

So, by using conversion factor we convert the height of Jane into centimeters from meters:

$1.6\ meter=1.6\times 100$

$=160\ centimeters.$

Height of Jane in centimeters = 160.

As given, 2.54 centimeters in an inch.

Now, we convert the centimeters by using unitary method:

If, 2.54 centimeters = 1 inch.

Then, 1 centimeters = $\frac{1}{2.54} \ inch$

So, 160 centimeters = $\frac{1}{2.54}\times 160$

$=\frac{160}{2.54}$

$=62.99\ inches.$

Thus, the height nearest to inch = 63 inches.

Therefore, Jane's height is 63 inches.

How many solutions does the following equation have?

Alexandra [31]

3(x + 5) = -4x + 8
3x + 15 = -4x + 8
3x + 4x = 8 - 15
7x = - 7
x = -7/7
x = -1

this equation has exactly 1 solution
