Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Convert Base Depth from Centimeters to Inches
Use the conversion factor: 1cm=0.393701inches.
Multiply the base depth in centimeters by the conversion factor:
120cm×0.393701inches/cm=47.24412inches
Round the result to the nearest inch: 47inches.
Step 2: Convert Temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit
Use the conversion formula: F=59C+32.
Substitute the given temperature in Celsius:
F=59×(−12)+32
Calculate the result:
F=−21.6+32=10.4
Round the result to the nearest degree: 10∘F.
Step 3: Convert Wind Speed from Kilometers per Hour to Miles per Hour
Use the conversion factor: 1km/h=0.621371mph.
Multiply the wind speed in kilometers per hour by the conversion factor:
10km/h×0.621371mph/km/h=6.21371mph
Round the result to the nearest mile per hour: 6mph.
