Answer 1

Answer: 234 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The billboard is 6 meters long and we are given the conversion factor for centimeters to inches.

To convert the length to inches therefore, convert the length from meters to centimeters first:

1 meter = 100 cm

6 meters would therefore be:

= 6 * 100

= 600 cm

1 cm = 0.39 inches so 600 cm is:

= 600 * 0.39

= 234 inches
