Question

If one cubit equals 2.54 smoots, then converts 68.87 cubits into smoots. Keep the answer with 2 decimal places

Answer 1

We can use rule of three to answer that.

1 cubit --- 2.54 smoots

68.87 cubits --- x

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{68.87}=\frac{2.54}{x} \\ 1\cdot x=2.54\cdot68.87 \\ x=174.9298\approx174.93 \end{gathered}$

So, 68.87 cubits is approximately 174.93 smoots.
