Question

Natalia measured an object that was 7 meters tall. Given that 1 yard is approximately 0.9 meters, how tall is the object in yards? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. a) 7.8 yards b) 7.0 yards c) 7.7 yards d) 7.9 yards

Answer 1

The object that Natalia measured is approximately 7.8 yards tall when converted from meters to yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The object that Natalia measured was 7 meters tall. Given that 1 yard is approximately 0.9 meters, we can calculate the height in yards by dividing the height in meters (7 m) by the yard equivalent in meters (0.9 m/yd). This gives us the height of approximately 7.8 yards when rounded to the nearest tenth.

To put it in steps:

1. Identify the number of meters you have (in this case, 7 meters).
2. Since we know 1 yard is approximately equal to 0.9 meters, divide the number of meters by 0.9 to convert it into yards. Calculation is as follows: 7 meters ÷ 0.9 ≈ 7.8 yards.
