Question

Convert 600 ft to meters. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth, if necessary. Use theEnglish/Metric conversion below.1 meter = 3.28 feet

Answer 1

Since 1 meter is equal to 3.28ft, let x be the number of meters equivalent to 600ft; therefore,

`(x)/(600)=(1)/(3.28)`

Solving for x,

`\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow x=(600)/(3.28)=182.926829\ldots \\ \Rightarrow x\approx182.927 \end{gathered}`

Once rounded, the answer is 182.927m
