International Measures of Length and Weight

Question 15 • 26-27 Ignite Technical Math-Financial Math - MA2007

Zoe is taking the measurements of her lawn. Her lawn is 64.15 feet long and 22.70 meters wide. One foot is equivalent to 0.3048 meters. Which dimension of Zoe’s lawn is longer, and how many yards longer is it?

Answer
A
The length of the lawn is 3.15 yards longer than the width.
B
The length of the lawn is 6.52 yards longer than the width.
C
The width of the lawn is 3.44 yards longer than the length.
D
The width of the lawn is 10.33 yards longer than the length.

Explanation

Convert the length to meters: 64.15 × 0.3048 = 19.55292 meters. The width is 22.70 meters, so it is longer by 22.70 − 19.55292 = 3.14708 meters. Since 1 yard is 0.9144 meters, the difference is about 3.14708 ÷ 0.9144 = 3.44 yards. Therefore, the width is 3.44 yards longer than the length.
