Answer 3

The correct response is: If Sami takes a break, the woman will no longer have blood pumping around her body.

Zander just visited the doctor and found out he is 165 centimeters tall. Zander wants to know how tall he is in non-metric units so he can tell his friend in the United States. How tall is Zander in non-metric units? (1 point) Responses 47 in. 47 in. 4 ft. 7 in. 4 ft. 7 in. 5 ft. 5 in. 5 ft. 5 in. 55 ft.

Answer 5

To convert Zander's height from centimeters to feet and inches, we can use the following conversion factors:

• 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
• 1 foot = 12 inches

First, we convert centimeters to inches:

\[ \text{Height in inches} = \frac{165 \text{ cm}}{2.54 \text{ cm/in}} \approx 64.96 \text{ inches} \]

Now, we convert inches to feet and inches:

1. Calculate the number of feet: \[ \text{Feet} = \left\lfloor \frac{64.96}{12} \right\rfloor = 5 \text{ feet} \]

2. Calculate the remaining inches: \[ \text{Inches} = 64.96 - (5 \times 12) = 64.96 - 60 = 4.96 \text{ inches} \approx 5 \text{ inches} \]

So, Zander's height is approximately 5 feet 5 inches.

The correct response is: 5 ft. 5 in.
