Paraceratherium was the biggest land mammal there has ever been. It lived about 35 million years ago and was 8 m tall and 11 m long. It looked like a giant rhinoceros but had a long neck like a giraffe. About how tall was Paraceratherium in feet? Use the conversion factor 1 ft. = 0.3048 m. Round to the nearest tenth where necessary.

Question

anonymous · Answer

as the height of Paraceratherium = 8m

now      1 ft. = 0.3048 m
            1ft/0.3048 = 1m

             multiply both sides by 8 to get your answer
