Question

1. label the following measurements (a–f) on the measuring tape with an arrow and the letter of the question. two examples have been done for you.

x. 37 ½\ y. 1.01m
a. 39⅛ in. d. 93 cm
b. 3 ft. 4¾ in. e. 0.992 m
c. 3.5 ft. f. 107.5 cm

Explanation:

1. Unit Conversion Rules:

• 1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in); 1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm)

1. Calculations for each measurement:

• a. 39¹/₈ in. is directly marked on the inch scale at 39 + 1/8.
• b. 3 ft 4³/₄ in. = (3×12) + 4.75 = 40.75 in, matching 40 3/4 on the inch scale.
• c. 3.5 ft = 3.5×12 = 42 in, matching the 42 mark on the inch scale.
• d. 93 cm is directly marked on the bottom cm scale.
• e. 0.992 m = 0.992×100 = 99.2 cm, matching 99.2 on the cm scale.
• f. 107.5 cm is directly marked on the bottom cm scale (1m + 7.5cm).

Answer:

• a. 39¹/₈ in. → Arrow pointing to 39 1/8 on the top (inch) scale
• b. 3 ft. 4³/₄ in. → Arrow pointing to 40 3/4 on the top (inch) scale
• c. 3.5 ft. → Arrow pointing to 42 on the top (inch) scale
• d. 93 cm → Arrow pointing to 93 on the bottom (cm) scale
• e. 0.992 m → Arrow pointing to 99.2 on the bottom (cm) scale
• f. 107.5 cm → Arrow pointing to 107.5 on the bottom (cm) scale
