just convert everything to the same unit, say cm.
1 inch = 2.54 cm, so
176 cm = 176 cm
5'4" = 64" = 162.56 cm
1.8 yd = 64.8" = 164.59 cm
and so on
For the truck, just look up the conversion for feet-to-meters. 8'6" = 8.5 ft...
Five students measure their height using different units. Andrew is 176 cm, Brittney is 5'4", Calvin is 1.8 yards, Don is 54 inches, and Elisha is 1.6 metres. Arrange the students from shortest to tallest.
I don't know how to deal with different units!
A truck driver is entering a parkade that says the maximum height of a vehicle is 8'6". If the height of the truck is 3 m, should the driver proceed into the parkade?
" and m are different units! How do I do this question?
