Question

Knowing that 1 meter equals approximately 39.37 inches, approximately how many inches would be in 4.2 meters.

Answer 1

In order to calculate how many inches would be 4.2 meters, we can use a rule of three:

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{ meter}\to39.37\text{ inches} \\ 4.2\text{ meters}\to x\text{ inches} \\ \\ (1)/(4.2)=(39.37)/(x) \\ x=39.37\cdot4.2 \\ x=165.354 \end{gathered}`

So we have that 4.2 meters would be approximately 165.354 inches.
