Let's solve each of the questions one by one.

  1. Inches to Feet Conversion:

    • Jana can leap 36 inches above the ground.
    • From the table, we see that 36 inches is equal to 3 feet.
    • Answer: 3

  2. Centimeters to Meters Conversion:

    • A town gets 200 centimeters of snow.
    • Since 1 meter = 100 centimeters, we convert 200 centimeters to meters as follows: \[ 200 \text{ cm} \div 100 = 2 \text{ m} \]
    • Answer: 2

  3. Pounds to Kilograms Conversion:

    • We want to find how many kilograms are equal to 72 pounds using the conversion factor: 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds.
    • To find the equivalent kilograms: \[ 72 \text{ pounds} \div 2.2 \text{ pounds/kilogram} \approx 32.727 \text{ kilograms} \]
    • Rounding to the nearest tenth gives us approximately 32.7 kilograms.
    • Answer: 32.7

  4. Meters to Yards Conversion:

    • Martha runs 1,000 meters.
    • Using the conversion factor 1 meter is approximately 1.09 yards: \[ 1,000 \text{ meters} \times 1.09 \text{ yards/meter} = 1,090 \text{ yards} \]
    • Answer: 1,090

  5. Miles to Kilometers Conversion:

    • Delta drives at an average speed of 17 miles per hour.
    • Using the conversion factor 1 kilometer is approximately equal to 0.62 miles, we first convert miles to kilometers: \[ 17 \text{ miles} \div 0.62 \text{ miles/kilometer} \approx 27.419 \text{ kilometers} \]
    • Rounding to the nearest tenth, Delta's speed is approximately 27.4 kilometers per hour.
    • Answer: 27.4

Here are the final answers summarized:

  1. 3
  2. 2
  3. 32.7
  4. 1,090
  5. 27.4
