Answer:
E. None of these answers is reasonable.
Step-by-step explanation:
Customary units are inches, feet, yards, and miles.
Since,
1 foot = 0.3048 meters,
⇒ 1 meter = [tex]\frac{1}{0.3048}[/tex] feet,
17.42 meters = [tex]\frac{17.42}{0.3048}[/tex] feet
[tex]=\frac{174200}{3048}\text{ feet}[/tex]
[tex]=57\frac{ 464}{3048}\text{ feet}[/tex]
[tex]=57\frac{58}{381}\text{ feet}[/tex]
Now, 1 feet = 12 inches,
⇒ [tex]\frac{58}{381}[/tex] feet = [tex]\frac{12\times 58}{381}[/tex] inches
= [tex]\frac{232}{381}\text{ inches}[/tex]
Hence,
17.42 meters = [tex]57\text{ feet }\frac{232}{381}\text{ inches}[/tex]
= 57' 232/127''
That is, None of these answers is reasonable.
