Final answer:

To determine the width of the vehicle to the nearest foot, divide 35 inches by 12 to convert to feet, resulting in about 2.92 feet, which rounds up to 3 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how wide the world’s narrowest electric vehicle is to the nearest foot, we need to convert the width from inches to feet. There are 12 inches in 1 foot. Therefore, we divide the width in inches by 12 to convert it to feet.

The vehicle is 35 inches wide. Now, let's do the math:

  • 35 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 2.9167 feet

To round to the nearest foot, if the decimal is 0.5 or higher, we round up. If it's less than 0.5, we round down. Since 0.9167 is more than 0.5, we round up.

Therefore, the vehicle is approximately 3 feet wide to the nearest foot.
