Question 5 • FowU - Financial Math - B

Derek lives in Canada and enjoys herb gardening. His American friend sent him a guidebook for growing fresh herbs. The book says that it is best to cut bay shoots when they are 3.25 in long. If 1 mm is equivalent to 0.03937 in, how many millimeters long should the bay shoots be when Derek cuts them?

Answer
A
8.26 mm
B
12.80 mm
C
82.55 mm
D
95.67 mm

Explanation

Since 1 mm equals 0.03937 in, divide the length in inches by 0.03937 to convert to millimeters: 3.25 ÷ 0.03937 ≈ 82.55 mm. Derek should cut the bay shoots when they are about 82.55 mm long, which is choice C.
