SOME ONE HELP ME PLZZZZZ.ZZ Mount St. Helens lost about 1300 feet of height in the May 18, 1980, volcanic eruption.

About how many meters of height did it lose?

O A. about 3900 meters

O B. about 39 meters

C. about 3.900 meters

O D. about 400 meters

OE. about 40 meters

Answer 1

Answer:  D. about 400 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to know 1 feet is equivalent to 0.3048 meters:

$1 ft=0.3048 m$

Then, we can make the conversion from 1300 feet to meters:

$1300 ft \frac{0.3048 m}{1 ft}=396.24 m$

Hence, Mount St. Helens lost $396.24 m$, which can be approximated to $400 m$.

This means the correct option is D.
