Question

below are several lines with units of distance marked on them. the scale for each line is labeled below the line. for each line, you are asked to click in a box at a given length on the line. when you click in a box, the value you are asked for will appear. if you decide that the box you clicked on is not the correct length, click in the box again and the value will disappear. then, click in the box that you think is correct. click in the box with the blue arrow pointing to 1 yard on this line: line with 0, 1 m, 2 m, 3 m marks and blue arrows click in the box with the blue arrow pointing to 1 meter on this line: line with 0, 1 ft, 2 ft, 3 ft, 4 ft, 5 ft marks and blue arrows click in the box with the blue arrow pointing to 150 centimeters on this line: line with 0, 1 m, 2 m, 3 m marks and blue arrows

Explanation:

Step1: Convert 1 yard to meters

We know $1 \text{ yard} = 0.9144 \text{ meters}$, which is just left of the 1 m mark.

Step2: Convert 1 meter to feet

We know $1 \text{ meter} \approx 3.2808 \text{ feet}$, which is between the 3 ft and 4 ft marks, closer to 3 ft.

Step3: Convert 150 cm to meters

$150 \text{ cm} = \frac{150}{100} = 1.5 \text{ meters}$, which is halfway between 1 m and 2 m.

Answer:

1. For the 1 yard (meter scale): Click the box whose arrow is just left of the 1 m mark (the second arrow from the left)
2. For the 1 meter (feet scale): Click the box whose arrow is between the 3 ft and 4 ft marks (the fourth arrow from the left)
3. For the 150 centimeters (meter scale): Click the box whose arrow is halfway between 1 m and 2 m (the third arrow from the left)
