Question

Convert the following (to the appropriate number of significant figures):
13.6 meters to inches

Answer 1

To convert 13.6 meters to inches, multiply by the conversion factor of 39.37 inches per meter and round to the appropriate number of significant figures.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 13.6 meters to inches, we need to use the conversion factor of 1 meter = 39.37 inches. We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of inches:

1 meter / 39.37 inches = 13.6 meters / x inches

Cross multiplying, we have:

1 * x = 39.37 * 13.6

x = 527.632 inches

Rounded to the appropriate number of significant figures (three in this case), the answer is 528 inches.
