Question

Write $$1.65m$$ in feet and inches.

Answer 1

Hint: In the metric system, Meter, feet and inches are all distance measurements. Here we use the concept of the conversion of units. We Know that $1m=3.33ft$ and also know that $1m=39.3701inches$. By knowing these we can solve the given problem by unitary method.

Complete answer:
Given, $$1.65m$$.
We know that $1m=3.33ft$
That is one meter is equal to 3.33 feet.
Then 1.65 meter is equal to ___
$$={\displaystyle \frac{3.33\times 1.65}{1}}$$
$$=5.4945ft$$
That is 1.65 meter is equal to 5.495 feet.
Similarly, we know that $1m=39.3701inches$
That is 1 meter is equal to 36 inches.
Then 1.65 meter is equal to _____
$$={\displaystyle \frac{1.65\times 39.3701}{1}}$$
$$=64.9607inches$$
That is 1.65 meter is equal to 64.9607 inches.
Additional information:
Some standard unit conversions are listed below.
One kilometre is equal to 1000 meter. That is $$1km=1000m$$
One meter is equal to 100 centimetres. That is $$1m=100cm$$
One centimetre is equal to 10 millimetres. That is $$1cm=10mm$$

Note:
Conversion of units is very important, while solving problems in measurement all the units should be the same. Always remember that to convert a bigger unit to a smaller unit we have to apply multiplication on the given unit. and to convert a smaller unit to a bigger unit, we have to apply division on the given unit.
