Question

Soccer fields vary in size. A large soccer field is 115 m long and 85 m wide. What are its dimensions in feet and inches? (Assume that 1 meter equals 3.281 feet.)

a) 377 ft x 278 in
b) 278 ft x 115 in
c) 115 ft x 85 in
d) 377 ft x 85 in

Answer 1

The dimensions of the large soccer field are approximately 377 ft x 279 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the dimensions of the soccer field from meters to feet and inches, we'll use the conversion factor that 1 meter equals 3.281 feet:

Length in feet: 115 m x 3.281 ft/m = 377 ft

Width in feet: 85 m x 3.281 ft/m = 279.485 ft (rounded to 279 ft)

To convert the width in feet to inches, we'll use the conversion factor that 1 foot equals 12 inches:

Width in inches: 279 ft x 12 in/ft = 3348 in

The dimensions of the large soccer field are approximately 377 ft x 279 in.
