The world’s record for hair length is 243 inches. How many feet is this? Round to the nearest tenth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The correct answer and explanation is:<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n To convert 243 inches<\/strong> to feet<\/strong>, we use the conversion factor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 foot = 12 inches<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Feet=243 inches12 inches per foot=20.25 feet\\text{Feet} = \\frac{243 \\text{ inches}}{12 \\text{ inches per foot}} = 20.25 \\text{ feet}<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, 243 inches = 20.3 feet<\/strong> (rounded to the nearest tenth).<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the Imperial system of measurement, length<\/strong> is commonly expressed in inches, feet, yards, and miles<\/strong>. These units are related through fixed conversion values. One of the most commonly used relationships is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 12 inches = 1 foot<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n So, to convert any measurement in inches to feet<\/strong>, you divide the number of inches by 12<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this problem, we are given that the world record for hair length is 243 inches<\/strong>, and we are asked to express this length in feet<\/strong>, rounded to the nearest tenth<\/strong> (which means one decimal place).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s the calculation again: 24312=20.25\\frac{243}{12} = 20.25<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now we round 20.25<\/strong> to the nearest tenth<\/strong>. The digit in the hundredths place is 5, so we round up<\/strong> the tenths place from 2 to 3. Therefore, the final rounded answer is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 20.3 feet<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n This measurement tells us just how long the record-setting hair is\u2014over 20 feet<\/strong>! For perspective, that’s about the length of a small bus or a two-story building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This type of conversion is not only useful in mathematics but also in science, construction, fashion, and even record-keeping, where precise length measurements are often required in different units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Understanding how to convert between units helps us communicate measurements more clearly and make better decisions, especially when comparing sizes, estimating materials, or reporting extreme records like this one!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The world’s record for hair length is 243 inches.
