Consider the formula that relates distance, velocity, and time (d=vt). If you are interested in the time it takes for a ladybug traveling at a speed of 3 inches per second to crawl up a 10-foot section of wall, which unit conversion makes the most sense to use?
Responses
Converting feet to inches by multiplying 10 feet by 12.
Converting feet to inches by dividing 10 feet by 12 inches/1 foot.
Converting feet to inches by multiplying 10 feet by 12 inches/1 foot.
Converting feet to inches by multiplying 11 feet by 1 foot/12 inches.
Converting feet to inches by multiplying 10 feet by 12.
The unit conversion that makes the most sense to use in this case is converting feet to inches by multiplying 10 feet by 12 inches/1 foot.
To find the time it takes for the ladybug to crawl up a 10-foot section of wall, we need to convert the given distance (10 feet) into the same units as the ladybug's velocity (3 inches per second).
Since the ladybug's velocity is given in inches per second, it makes the most sense to convert the 10-foot distance into inches. To do this, we need to multiply 10 feet by the conversion factor of 12 inches per 1 foot.
Therefore, the correct unit conversion to use is:
Converting feet to inches by multiplying 10 feet by 12 inches/1 foot.
