What’s the Error?
Question 13
(request help)
The Redwood National Park is home to some of the largest trees in the world. Hyperion is the tallest tree in the park, with a height of approximately 379 feet. Tom wants to find the height of the tree in yards.
Tom converted the height this way :
3 feet = 1 yard
conversion factor : \(\cfrac{3\text{ ft}}{1\text{ yd}}\)
\(\cfrac{379\text{ ft}}{1}\times\cfrac{3\text{ ft}}{1\text{ yd}} = 1,137\text{ yd}\)
Find and describe Tom’s error.
Show how to correctly convert from 379 feet to yards.
Explain how you knew Tom’s answer was incorrect.
