Question

You have a table that measures 62 inches x 86 inches…how would you convert these measurements into feet?


What about miles?



What about Scientific Notation for the miles?

Answered by GPT-4o mini
To convert inches to feet, you divide the number of inches by 12, since there are 12 inches in a foot.

**Conversions to feet:**
- For the length:
\[
62 \text{ inches} \div 12 \text{ inches/foot} = \frac{62}{12} \approx 5.17 \text{ feet}
\]

- For the width:
\[
86 \text{ inches} \div 12 \text{ inches/foot} = \frac{86}{12} \approx 7.17 \text{ feet}
\]

So, the dimensions of the table in feet are approximately **5.17 feet x 7.17 feet**.

**Conversions to miles:**
To convert inches to miles, you divide the number of inches by 63,360, since there are 63,360 inches in a mile.

- For the length:
\[
62 \text{ inches} \div 63,360 \text{ inches/mile} \approx 0.000977 \text{ miles}
\]

- For the width:
\[
86 \text{ inches} \div 63,360 \text{ inches/mile} \approx 0.00136 \text{ miles}
\]

So, the dimensions of the table in miles are approximately **0.000977 miles x 0.00136 miles**.

**Scientific Notation for the miles:**
- For the length:
\[
0.000977 \text{ miles} \approx 9.77 \times 10^{-4} \text{ miles}
\]

- For the width:
\[
0.00136 \text{ miles} \approx 1.36 \times 10^{-3} \text{ miles}
\]

Thus, in scientific notation, the dimensions of the table are approximately **\(9.77 \times 10^{-4} \text{ miles} \times 1.36 \times 10^{-3} \text{ miles}\)**.
