Post by arnesh »

any help on how to tackle this question.


rashid is 1 metre 10 centimetres tall.which is the closest to his height in feet and inches.

:3 feet 4 inches. 3 feet 7 inches. 3 feet 10 inches. 4 feet 1 inch . 4 feet 3 inches.

1 inch is 2.5 cm - so to change centimetres into inches you need to divide the number of centimetres by 2.5

so 110 divided by 2.5 is 44 [a quick way is to divide 220 by 5 by doubling each number]

There are 12 inches in a foot, 44 inches is 36 + 8 - so height is 3ft. 8 inches
