About how many inches are equivalent to 3 meters? Round the number(s) needed in the table to the nearest tenth to find the approximate answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

118.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Convert meters to centimeters

we know that

$1\ m=100\ cm$

To convert m to cm Multiply by 100

so

$3\ m=3(100)=300\ cm$

step 2

Convert centimeters to inches

we know that

$1\ in=2.54\ cm$

To convert cm to in Divide by 2.54

$300\ cm=300/2.54=118.11\ in$

Round the number(s) needed in the table to the nearest tenth

118.11 in=118.1 in
