To convert the distance from feet to inches for the ladybug that is crawling up a 10-foot section of a wall, the appropriate unit conversion is:
Converting feet to inches by multiplying 10 feet by \( \frac{12 \text{ inches}}{1 \text{ foot}} \).
This choice correctly expresses the conversion factor, which allows you to convert the distance from feet to inches, ensuring the units cancel correctly and yield the desired result in inches.
Here's the calculation:
- \( 10 \text{ feet} \times \frac{12 \text{ inches}}{1 \text{ foot}} = 120 \text{ inches} \)
So, the ladybug would need to crawl up 120 inches.
