A pet store has various sizes of guinea pig cages. What are possible dimensions of this cage? L=6 cm W=4.8cm
This problem has a multiple choice:
A)28 in. BY 24 in.
B)28 in. BY 18 in.
C)30 in. BY 24 in.
D)30 in. BY 18 in.
I don't know, but that was
how my teacher gave the problem!
Is it possible that the centimeter measurements are those of a drawing of the cage?
length is 4.8.
width is 6
To determine the dimensions of the guinea pig cage, we need to find the dimensions that match the given lengths of 6 cm and widths of 4.8 cm.
First, we need to convert the given measurements from centimeters to inches. To do this, we divide the given values by 2.54 (1 inch is equivalent to 2.54 cm):
Length in inches = 6 cm / 2.54 cm/inch = 2.36 in
Width in inches = 4.8 cm / 2.54 cm/inch = 1.89 in
Now we will compare the calculated dimensions of the cage (2.36 in length and 1.89 in width) with the options provided:
A) 28 in. BY 24 in. - This option does not match the calculated dimensions.
B) 28 in. BY 18 in. - This option does not match the calculated dimensions.
C) 30 in. BY 24 in. - This option does not match the calculated dimensions.
D) 30 in. BY 18 in. - This option does not match the calculated dimensions.
Neither of the provided options match the calculated dimensions (2.36 in by 1.89 in). It's possible that none of the given choices are correct, or there may be missing information.
Your question makes no sense.
Are the dimensions in centimeters or in inches?
