Question

Jan has 313 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?

a) 9cm
b)12cm
c)90cm
d)160cm

Answer 1

9540.24 cm

When we round off, we get 9540 cm.

Step by step explanation

1 foot = 30.48 cm

Jan has 313 feet of rope.

Now we have to convert 313 feet into cm.

To convert, we have to multiply 313 by 30.48

= 313 * 30.48

= 9540.24 cm

= 9540 cm (estimation)

That's answer. But none of the answer choices matches with the answer.

Hope this will help you.
