Answer 1

Answer: C. 19.5 in × 29.25 in

Step-by-step explanation: (50 x .39) x (75 x .39)

Answer 2

We can multiply the cm measurements by the conversion factor of 0.39 inches per cm to convert to inches. 50 cm multiplied by (0.39 inches/1 cm) gives a width of 19.5 inches. 75 cm multiplied by (0.39 inches/1 cm) gives a width of 29.25 inches. Therefore, the dimensions of the factory in inches are 19.5 x 29.25 inches, which is given in choice C.
