How many are in $15\ feet?$

Explanation

To solve this problem we can make proportions.

We know that $1\ foot=12\ inches$ , and we can use as our unknown.

$\frac{1\ foot}{12\ inches}=\frac{15\ feet}{x\ inches}$

Next, we want to cross multiply and divide to isolate the on one side.

$12\ inches\times 15\ feet= 1\ foot \times x\ inches$

$\frac{12\ inches\times 15\ feet}{1\ foot}= 180\ inches$

The $\yards$ $\ feet$ will cancel and we are left with $180\ inches$

Explanation

The formula for volume of a rectangular prism is $\small v=l\times w\times h$

$\small v=5\times\5\times6$

$\small v=150cm^3$

Remember, volume is always labeled as units to the third power.

How many $\textup{centimeters}$ are in $13\textup { meters?}$

$1\textup,300\textup { centimeters}$

$130\textup { centimeters}$

$1.3\textup{ centimeters}$

$.0013\textup { centimeters}$

$13\textup,000\textup { centimeters}$

Explanation

To solve this problem we can make proportions.

We know that $1\ centimeter= .01\ meters$ and we can use as our unknown.

$\frac{1\ centimeter}{.01\ meter}=\frac{x\ centimeters}{13\ meters}$

Next, we want to cross multiply and divide to isolate the on one side.

$1\ centimeter\times 13\ meters=.01\ meter\times x\ centimeters$

$\frac{1\ centimeter\times 13\ meters}{.01\ meter}= x\ centimeters$

The will cancel and we are left with $1,300\ centimeters$
