Answer 1

The length of the skis in inches is approximately 70.9 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the length of the skis from centimeters to inches, we can use the conversion factor 1 inch = 2.54 cm.

Given that the skis are 180 cm long, we can set up the proportion:

180 cm x (1 in./2.54 cm) = 70.8661417 in.

Rounding to the correct number of significant digits, the length of the skis in inches is approximately 70.9 in., so the correct answer is A. 70.9.
