Question

The Roman cubitus is an ancient unit of measure equivalent to about 0.445 m. Convert the 2.06-m height of a basketball forward to cubiti.

Answer 1

4.62 Roman cubits.

Explanation:

To convert the height from meters to Roman cubits, you can divide the height in meters by the equivalent length of a Roman cubit in meters:

Roman cubitus length: 0.445 m

Basketball forward's height: 2.06 m

Number of Roman cubits = Basketball forward's height / Roman cubitus length

Number of Roman cubits = 2.06 m / 0.445 m ≈ 4.62 cubiti

The basketball forward's height is approximately 4.62 Roman cubits.
