Boys competing in the long jump event must jump at least 15 feet to qualify for the state track and field

meet. Choose all the metric
measures that are less than 15 feet

A)6.5 m
B)5.0 m
C) 4,5m
D)3.92 m
E)3.5 m​

Answer 1

Answer: Based on the list of options provided in the question, all of the metric measures listed (6.5 m, 5.0 m, 4.5 m, 3.92 m, and 3.5 m) are smaller than 15 feet.

Explanation:

As previously mentioned, to directly compare the values, conversion is required. One meter is equivalent to approximately 3.28 feet, so 6.5 m is approximately 21.33 feet, 5.0 m is approximately 16.4 feet, 4.5 m is approximately 14.8 feet, 3.92 m is approximately 12.86 feet, and 3.5 m is approximately 11.48 feet.

Answer 2

Answers: C) 4.5 m, D) 3.92 m, E) 3.5 m

Work Shown:

Convert from feet to meters.

15 feet = (15 ft)*(0.3048 m/1 ft)

15 feet = (15*0.3048) meters

15 feet = 4.572 meters approximately

From this point onward, we select all answer choices that are less than 4.572 meters. Those would be C, D and E.
