Question

The ceilings in Roberto's house are 12 feet high. How many meters high are the ceilings? Do not round your answer.1 foot ≈ 0.305 meter meters

Answer 1

We need to convert 12 feet to meters.

We know that:

$1\text{ foot }\approx0.305\text{ meter}$

Thus, we have:

$\begin{gathered} 12\text{ feet }=12\cdot1\text{ foot} \\ \\ 12\text{feet}=12\cdot0.305\text{ meter} \\ \\ 12\text{feet}=3.66\text{ meter} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the ceilings are 3.66 meters high.
