Question

convert 120 inches to meters
(1 inch=2.54 cm)

○ 3.048 m

○ .3048 m

○ 30.48 m

○ 304.8 m

Explanation:

Step1: Convert inches to centimeters

Multiply the number of inches (120) by the conversion factor (2.54 cm/inch). So, \( 120 \times 2.54 = 304.8 \) cm.

Step2: Convert centimeters to meters

Since 1 meter = 100 centimeters, divide the number of centimeters (304.8) by 100. So, \( \frac{304.8}{100} = 3.048 \) m? Wait, no, wait. Wait, 120 inches: 1 inch is 2.54 cm, so 1202.54 = 304.8 cm. Then convert cm to meters: 304.8 cm / 100 = 3.048 m? Wait, no, wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, 1 foot is 12 inches, 1 foot is 0.3048 meters. So 120 inches is 10 feet. 100.3048 = 3.048 meters. Wait, but the options have 3.048 m and 0.3048 m. Wait, no, 120 inches: 1202.54 cm = 304.8 cm. 304.8 cm is 3.048 meters? Wait, no, 1 meter is 100 cm, so 304.8 cm is 3.048 meters? But the options: first option is 3.048 m, second is 0.3048 m. Wait, maybe I miscalculated. Wait, 1 inch = 2.54 cm, so 120 inches = 120 2.54 cm = 304.8 cm. Then convert to meters: 304.8 cm / 100 = 3.048 meters? But that seems too big. Wait, no, 1 meter is 100 cm, so 304.8 cm is 3.048 meters. But let's check the options. The first option is 3.048 m, second is 0.3048 m. Wait, maybe I messed up the conversion. Wait, 1 inch is 0.0254 meters. So 120 inches 0.0254 m/inch = 120 0.0254 = 3.048 meters? Wait, no, 0.0254 meters per inch. So 120 0.0254 = 3.048 meters. But the second option is 0.3048 m. Wait, maybe the question is 12 inches? No, the question is 120 inches. Wait, 12 inches is 1 foot, 1 foot is 0.3048 meters. So 120 inches is 10 feet, 10 0.3048 = 3.048 meters. So the correct answer is 3.048 m.

Answer:

A. 3.048 m
