Question Convert $9$ feet to meters. Round the result to the nearest tenth.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The length to be converted is9 feet. The conversion factor from feet to meters is1 foot =0.3048 meters3. The result should be rounded to the nearest tenth

STEP 2

First, we need to set up the conversion from feet to meters. We can do this by multiplying the length in feet by the conversion factor.
$Length\, in\, meters = Length\, in\, feet \\times Conversion\, factor$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the length in feet and the conversion factor to calculate the length in meters.
$Length\, in\, meters =9\, feet \\times0.3048\, meters/foot$

STEP 4

Calculate the length in meters.
$Length\, in\, meters =9 \\times0.3048 =2.7432\, meters$

STEP 5

Now that we have the length in meters, we need to round this to the nearest tenth. $Rounded\, length\, in\, meters = round(2.7432,1)$

STEP 6

Calculate the rounded length in meters.
$Rounded\, length\, in\, meters =2.\, meters$ So,9 feet is approximately2. meters when rounded to the nearest tenth.
