Question

a volcano on a recently discovered planet rises to a height of 16,871 mi. use the table of facts to find the height of the volcano in feet. round your answer to the nearest tenth. conversion facts for length 12 inches (in) = 1 foot (ft) 3 feet (ft) = 1 yard (yd) 36 inches (in) = 1 yard (yd) 5280 feet (ft) = 1 mile (mi) 1760 yards (yd) = 1 mile (mi)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify conversion factor

Use $5280 \text{ ft} = 1 \text{ mi}$

Step2: Multiply miles by conversion factor

$16871 \times 5280$

Step3: Calculate the product

$16871 \times 5280 = 89,078,880$

Step4: Round to nearest tenth

Value is whole number, so tenths place is 0.

Answer:

89078880.0 ft
