Question

Jan has 3 1/3 feet of rope to use on a camping trip. Assume 1 foot = 30.48 centimeters. What is the best estimate of the centimeters of rope Jan has?

Answer 1

The best estimate would be 100 centimeters. Since a foot is roughly 30 centimeters, 3 feet would be roughly 90 centimeters and 1/3 of a foot would be roughly 10 centimeters. Adding these together gives you the answer, 100 centimeters. Hope this helps!
