A pet store has various sizes of guinea pig cages. The diagram of the top of the cage has a width of 4.8cm and length of 6cm. what are the possible dimensions of this cage? A) 28in by 24in B) 28in by 18in C) 30in by 24in or D) 30in by 18in
6:4.8 = 5:4
That ratio is the same as for selection (C)
To find the possible dimensions of the guinea pig cage, we need to convert the measurements given in centimeters to inches.
1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters, so we divide the given width of 4.8cm by 2.54 to convert it to inches:
4.8cm / 2.54 = 1.89 inches (approximately)
Similarly, we divide the given length of 6cm by 2.54 to convert it to inches:
6cm / 2.54 = 2.36 inches (approximately)
So, the dimensions of the guinea pig cage in inches are approximately 1.89 inches by 2.36 inches.
Now, let's check which option matches these dimensions:
A) 28in by 24in: This option does not match the given dimensions.
B) 28in by 18in: This option does not match the given dimensions.
C) 30in by 24in: This option does not match the given dimensions.
D) 30in by 18in: This option does not match the given dimensions.
None of the options match the given dimensions of 1.89 inches by 2.36 inches. Therefore, none of the provided answer options are correct.
