Answer to Problem 1A

  198inches can be expressed as 16.49983236feet.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

Given, a unit in one system, 198inches

Calculation:

To express a unit in one system as an equivalent unit in the other system, either use unity fractions or multiply the given measurements by the appropriate conversion factor in the metric-Customary Linear Equivalent Table

As we know that,

  1 meter=39.37 inches   and1 meter=3.2808feet

To express 198inches as feet, we convert inches to meter and then convert meter to feet by multiplying with unity fraction.

Converting 198inches to meter,

  198 in×1 m39.37 in=19839.37 meter

Converting meter to feet

  19839.37m×3.2808ft1m=16.49983236ft

Hence, 198inches can be expressed as 16.49983236feet.
