If x denotes the length measured in ft and y denotes the length measured in cm, then y = 30.5x (a) Explain how to use this relationship. (b) Use the relationship to convert the following measurements into centimeters: (i) 6 ft (ii) 3 ft, 2 in (iii) 1 ft, 7 in (c) Use the relationship to convert the following measurements into ft: (i) 173 cm (ii) 75 cm (iii) 48 cm
