Question

Use the specific conversions factors below to solve the given problem.You must use the conversion factors given.1 lb = 0.45 kilogram (kg)1 inch (in) = 2.54 centimeter (cm)1 kilometer (km) = 0.62 mile (mi)1 yard (yd) = 0.91 meter (m)A rugby field is 70 meters wide, how many yards wide isit? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number)

Answer 1

To obtain the width, multiply the 70 meters using the given conversion factors and then cancel the same units from the numerator and the denominator.

Thus, we get.

$70m\cdot\frac{1yd}{0.91m}=\frac{70}{0.91}yd$

Therefore, the approximate value is 76.923 yd or 77 yd.
