Question

A ball was kicked 13 meters. How many feet is 13 meters? (1m=3.281 feet)Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answer 1

Distance of the kicked ball: 13 m

If 1 m is 3.281 feet, then we can apply the rule of three:

1 m → 3.281 ft

13 m → x ft

Then:

x ft * 1 m = 13 m * 3.281 ft

x = 13*3.281

x = 42.653

To the nearest tenth, the ball was kicked 42.7 feet
