Question

How many feet are in 100 meters if 1 meter is 1.09 yards? Will mark brainliest if you include clear steps. Thank you!

Answer 1

Well, there are 3 feet in 1 yard, and 1.09 yards in 1 meter, so then

$\bf 100~\underline{m}\cdot \cfrac{1.09~\underline{yd}}{\underline{m}}\cdot \cfrac{3~ft}{\underline{yd}}\implies \cfrac{100\cdot 1.09\cdot 3~ft}{1}\implies 327~ft$

notice, we use the ratio, and whichever unit you want cancelled, you simply flip the ratio to have it cancelled, if the "m" is atop and you need that cancel, use the ratio with the "m" at the bottom, m/m = 1, and so they cancel out, and so on.
