please help

So, there are 100 cm in a meter, so 1*100 is 100, and there are 2.54 cm in an inch.

OpenStudy (kayhoo22):

You divide 100/2.54.

OpenStudy (kayhoo22):

And get about 35.37, but since it's to the nearest tenth, you get about 35.4

OpenStudy (kayhoo22):

You then divide that by 12, since there are twelve inches in a foot.

yo bro your a best man what else am missing

OpenStudy (kayhoo22):

So 35.4/12 is 2.95 feet, and since there are three feet in a yard, you divide 2.95/3 and get 0.983... yards. If you round that to the nearest tenth, you would get 1, because 9 rounded up is 10, and 0.9 rounded up is 1.

OpenStudy (kayhoo22):

There you have it.

The answer is one (1)
