WILL GIVE A BRAINLIEST IF YOURE RIGHT PLEASE HELP!!!

The instructions for building a kite tell you to begin by cutting a strip of wood to 45 cm in length, but your ruler only measures inches. How many inches should the piece of wood be? Round to the nearest quarter of an inch.

(Recall: 1 in. = 2.54 cm)

a.
17 3/4 in.
b.
114 3/4 in.
c.
113 3/4 in.
d.
16 3/4 in.

Respuesta :

one inch=2.54 cm     45 inches=17.7165      answer=A



To convert 45cm to inches, you first need to find the conversion:
1in. : 2.54cm.
Now that we have the conversion, you can complete the conversion:
Divide 45 by 2.54 - 45/2.54 = 17.72
The questions asks for the nearest quarter of an inch, so the answer would be A. 17 3/4 in. Hope this helps!
