Question

michelle and rosa are researching the deepest lakes in the united states for a school project. lake tahoe has a depth of 1,644 feet. michelle believes the lake has a depth of 548 meters. rosa believes the lake has a depth of 498 meters. who do you agree with ?

Answer 1

Rosa is closer to the correct depth.

Explanation:

To show that two measurements are nearly equivalent, we must convert one of the measurements to the other unit.

1 m = 3.281 ft

`\text{Depth } = \text{1644 ft} * \frac{\text{1 m}}{\text{3.281 ft}} = \textbf{501.1 m}`

Neither is correct but Rosa is closer to the correct depth.
