Question

use the english and metric equivalents to the right, along with dimensional analysis, to convert the given measurement to the unit indicated. 150 in. to dam

(round to four decimal places as needed. round all intermediate values to four decimal places as needed.)

approximate english and metric equivalents
1 in. = 2.54 cm
1 ft = 30.48 cm
1 yd = 0.9 m
1 mi = 1.6 km

Explanation:

Step1: Convert inches to centimeters

We know that 1 in. = 2.54 cm. So for 150 in., we multiply 150 by 2.54.
$150\times2.54 = 381$ cm

Step2: Convert centimeters to meters

Since 1 m = 100 cm, we divide the number of centimeters by 100.
$381\div100=3.81$ m

Step3: Convert meters to decameters

Since 1 dam = 10 m, we divide the number of meters by 10.
$3.81\div10 = 0.3810$ dam

Answer:

0.3810
