how do you convert 310cm to whatever amount of feet it is?

Question

1in= 2.54cm
12in= 1ft
1yard=36in
1m= 39.37in

and its supposed to be a 2-step english to metric conversion and are suppossed to use the guessing method (not actually guessing.... its a real method)

Answer 1

you divide 310 by 2.54
you then have 122 inches, which you then divide by 12 to get the amount of feet
122/12=10.17 feet

Answer 2

First step convert 310cm to inches by dividing 310cm by 2.54 since there are 2.54 cm to an inch.

310/2.54 = roughly 122 inches in 310cm.

now convert 122 inches into feet by dividing 122 by 12 since there are 12 inches to a foot.

122/12= 10.17 feet

or you can do it in a single step since there is 30.48 cm to a foot. You can divide 310cm by 30.48

310/30.48 = 10.17 feet.

Going a step futher to get more accurate you can find out how many inches there are in 0.17 of a foot by multiplying 0.17 time 12 which giver you 2.04 inches.

making it 10 feet and 2 inches in 310cm.

Answer 3

First convert the centimeters to inches using 2.54 cm = 1 in, and then convert the inches to feet using 12 in = 1 ft. So divide by 2.54 to covert to inches, then divide by 12 to get the answer in feet.

You could use other conversion factors, but 2.54 cm / 1 in is the standard conversion factor for length, so anything else will be less approximate.

Answer 4

well you would say theres 310 cm and 2.54 cm in one inch. then theres 12 inches in one foot.
so divide 310 by 30.48 (30.48 is 12*2.54) and that would give you 10.17 ft.

Answer 5

1in= 2.54cm
12in= 1ft

310 cm (1 in/2.54 cm)(1 ft/ 12 in)

= (310)/((2.54)(12)) ft

= 310/30.48 ft

= 10.17 ft
