Question

.A cubit is an ancient measurement now

defined as: 1.0 cubit (c) = 45.72 cm. Which of
the following computations should you use to
convert a measurement of 0.33 c to
centimeters?
a. 0.330 x 1.0c / 45.72cm
b. 0.33cm x 1.0c / 45.72cm
c. 0.330 x 45.72cm /1.0c
d. 0.330 + 45.72c

Answer 1

To convert 0.33 cubit to centimeters, use the computation 0.33 c x 45.72 cm / 1.0 c. The result is approximately 15.08 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a measurement from cubits to centimeters, you should multiply the number of cubits by the value of one cubit in centimeters. Since 1.0 cubit (c) is defined as 45.72 cm, the correct computation for converting 0.33 c to centimeters is c) 0.330 × 45.72cm / 1.0c. By performing this multiplication, the unit cubits (c) will cancel out, leaving you with the answer in centimeters.

Let's perform the calculation: 0.33 c × 45.72 cm/c = 15.0876 cm. Therefore, 0.33 cubits is equal to 15.0876 centimeters.
