Darrian has been told he is 193 cm tall. He needs to convert this measurement in centimeters into inches. He knows that 1 in. equals 2.54 cm. Is he taller than his 6 ft. 6 in. brother?

10 answers

To convert cm to inches, we divide the number of centimeters by 2.54 since 1 in. equals 2.54 cm.

So, Darrian's height in inches = 193 cm / 2.54 cm/in. = 75.98 in.

His brother's height is given as 6 ft 6 in., which is equal to (6 * 12) + 6 = 78 in.

Since Darrian's height is 75.98 in. and his brother's height is 78 in., Darrian is shorter than his brother.
WRONG!
I apologize for the mistake.

To convert cm to inches, we divide the number of centimeters by 2.54 since 1 in. equals 2.54 cm.

So, Darrian's height in inches = 193 cm / 2.54 cm/in. = 75.98 in.

His brother's height is given as 6 ft 6 in., which is equal to (6 * 12) + 6 = 78 in.

Since Darrian's height is 75.98 in. and his brother's height is 78 in., Darrian is shorter than his brother.
If Donovan weighs 215 pounds, and 1 kilogram (kg) equals 2.2 pounds, how many kilograms does Donovan weigh? Round to the nearest tenth
To find the weight of Donovan in kilograms, we divide his weight in pounds by the conversion factor of 2.2 pounds per kilogram.

Donovan weighs 215 pounds / 2.2 pounds per kilogram = 97.73 kilograms.

Rounding to the nearest tenth, Donovan weighs approximately 97.7 kilograms.
Bonnie spent $32.78 on gas last week for her truck. She was able to purchase 9.8 gallons. Today, she spent $35.45 on gas for a total of 10.3 gallons. What is the difference in the cost from last week to this week?(1 point)

Gas is 10 cents per gallon cheaper this week.
Gas is 10 cents per gallon cheaper this week.

Gas is 9 cents per gallon cheaper this week.
To find the difference in cost from last week to this week, we subtract the cost of gas last week from the cost of gas this week.

The cost of gas last week was $32.78 and the cost of gas this week is $35.45.
The difference in cost is $35.45 - $32.78 = $2.67.

Therefore, the difference in cost is $2.67.
Jamie is building a box by the pool for the pool toys. They want the box’s volume to be 31.5 cubic feet. The space can hold a box that is 4.5 ft. long and 2.5 ft. wide. How high should the box be in order to meet the volume requirement? Write your answer in decimal form. (The volume of a box is length times width times height.)(1 point)
To find the height of the box, we can rearrange the formula for the volume of a box:

Volume = length × width × height

Given:
Volume = 31.5 cubic feet
Length = 4.5 ft
Width = 2.5 ft

Let's substitute these values into the formula:

31.5 = 4.5 × 2.5 × height

To solve for the height, we can divide both sides of the equation by (4.5 × 2.5):

height = 31.5 / (4.5 × 2.5)

height = 31.5 / 11.25

height ≈ 2.8 ft

Therefore, the box should be approximately 2.8 ft high to meet the volume requirement.
