Question

A road sign says that there is an exit in 3/4 of a mile. How many metres is this? (Use the Unit Conversions in your formula sheet). Answer to the nearest whole number.

Common Imperial Imperial and SI SI

1 mile = 1760 yd. 1 mile = 1.609 km. 1 km = 1000 metre
1 mile = 5280 ft. 1 yard = 0.9144 m. 1 metre = 100 cm.
1 yard = 3 ft. 1 foot = 30.48 cm. 1 cm = 10 mm.
1 yard = 36 in. 1 inch = 2.54 cm.
1 foot = 12 in.

Answer 1

I think we will need to use the 1mile=5280ft and the 1ft=30.48cm and the 1metre=100cm


so
3/4 mles=3/4 times 5280=3960ft
1ft=30.48cm
times both sides by 3960
3960ft=120700.8cm

1metre=100cm
1/100meter=1cm
times both sides by 120700.8
1207.008meter=120700.8cm=3/4mile

answer is 1207.008 meters
round

1207 meters
