Answer:

A. 360.8 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

To transform units we need to set a conversion factor, in this case, between meters and feet, which is:

1 meter = 3.28084 feet.

So, if 1 meter is around 3.28 feet, 110 meters is around who many feet?

Here, we can applied the rule of three, because we know the proportion between these two units. Basically we need to multiply 110 times 3.28:


x = 110m(3,28ft)/(1m) =360.8 ft

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
