Final answer:
The circumference of a soccer ball that is 27 inches is 68.58 centimeters. For weight conversion, a soccer ball that is 14 ounces weighs 396.893 grams, whereas one that is 16 ounces weighs 453.592 grams.
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert the circumference of a soccer ball from inches to centimeters, you can use the conversion factor 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters. If the ball's circumference is 27 inches, the calculation to convert to centimeters would be:
27 inches × 2.54 cm/inch = 68.58 centimeters.
The correct answer to the question is therefore 68.58 cm, which falls under option a).
To convert the weight of the soccer ball from ounces to grams, use the conversion factor 1 ounce = 28.3495 grams. For a ball that weighs 14 ounces, the calculation would be:
14 oz × 28.3495 g/oz = 396.893 grams.
Similarly, a ball that weighs 16 ounces will weigh:
16 oz × 28.3495 g/oz = 453.592 grams.
Hence, the weight of the ball in grams is between 396.893 g and 453.592 g.
