High Knob Mountain is 4044 ft. high.What is this distance in meters?
a. 6470 m
b. 102.8 m
c. 1233 m
d. 4000 m
I did it like this: 1yard=3f,so 4044ft=1348yd.
1yd=0.914m,so it gives 1232.072m
Maybe I did something wrong?but it does not match to any answer:(
Thanks for any help.
By using 1 yd. = 0.9144 m, I get 1,232.61 meters. Rounded that is 1233 m.
Thats interesting why books do not give the exact meaning?>_<
Thank You very much, Ms.Sue!
You're welcome.
I typed yards meters into the Google search box to get 0.9144 m.
To convert feet to meters, you have the correct conversion factor: 1 yard = 0.914 meters. However, there seems to be a slight error in your calculation.
First, let's convert 4044 feet to yards:
4044 ft ÷ 3 ft/yd = 1348 yards.
Now, let's convert 1348 yards to meters:
1348 yd × 0.914 m/yd = 1232.072 m.
Your calculation is correct, and you obtained 1232.072 meters. However, none of the answer choices match this result exactly. It's possible that the options provided are rounded or approximate values.
In this case, the closest answer choice to 1232.072 meters is option (c) 1233 m. It might not be an exact match, but it's the closest option based on the calculations.
