To identify and correct the error in the conversion chart, we first need to establish the correct relationship between feet and inches. There are 12 inches in a foot, so to convert feet to inches, we can use the formula:
\[ \text{Inches} = \text{Feet} \times 12 \]
Now, let's calculate the correct inches for each row:
-
Row 1:
- 3 feet = \( 3 \times 12 = 36 \) inches (Correct)
-
Row 2:
- 6 feet = \( 6 \times 12 = 72 \) inches (Correct)
-
Row 3:
- 7 feet = \( 7 \times 12 = 84 \) inches (Incorrect as per the table, which shows 94 inches)
-
Row 4:
- 9 feet = \( 9 \times 12 = 108 \) inches (Correct)
From this analysis, we can see that Row 3 is the one with the error. The correct value for Row 3 should be 84 inches instead of 94 inches.
Here is a summary of the corrections needed:
- Row 1 should remain as is: 3 feet is equivalent to 36 inches.
- Row 2 should remain as is: 6 feet is equivalent to 72 inches.
- Row 3 should be corrected to: 7 feet is equivalent to 84 inches.
- Row 4 should remain as is: 9 feet is equivalent to 108 inches.
In conclusion, the correction for the table is:
- Row 3: Correct to show that 7 feet is equivalent to 84 inches.
