Rachel Maddiee Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Can someone please help me with this? Im not sure what I’m doing wrong with the units. Convert the 100 yards to cm (there are 36 inches in a yard). Divide this by the length of the paperclip 1 yd = 36 in 1 in = 2.54 cm 100 yards = 9144 cm 100 yds * 36 in/1 yd * 2.54cm/1 in = 9144 cm 9144 / 3.2 = 2857.5 9144 cm/3.2 cm = 2,857.5 cm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
