a) ≈ 19ft
b) ≈ 20ft
c) ≈ 1,890ft
d) ≈ 20,336ft

Answer 1

To convert 6,200 millimeters to feet, divide by 1000 to convert to meters and then multiply by the conversion factor of 3.28 to get the distance in feet, which is approximately 20.336 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance in feet of an object that travels 6,200 millimeters, we can use the conversion factor that 1 meter is approximately equal to 3.28 feet. First, convert millimeters to meters by dividing the distance by 1000: 6,200 mm ÷ 1000 = 6.2 m. Then, multiply the distance in meters by the conversion factor to get the distance in feet: 6.2 m × 3.28 ft/m = 20.336 ft.
