Michael is 5 feet 8 inches tall. There are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch. What is Michael's height in centimeters? (Round to the tenths.) Hint: How many inches are in 5 feet 8 inches?

The answer is 172.7 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) There are 12 inches in a foot. Multiply 5 feet by 12 inches, the answer would be 60 inches.

2.) Add the additional 8 inches to the 60 to get 68 inches total.

3.) Multiply 68 inches by 2.54 centimeters, the answer is 172.72 centimeters.

4.) Round off your answer to the tenths decimal place to get 172.7 centimeters total.

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
