This is so

a) 8 ft. 6 in. to the nearest centimetre
b) 300 g to the nearest ounce
and also
c) a car has a fuel consumption rating of 8.3 l/100 km
how many gallons are used when the car is driven 1 mi?
calculate the rating in gallons per mile, to three decimal places. show work.

d) calculate the cost of carpeting a living room that measures 13 ft by 14 ft, at a cost of $4.95/sq. ft. show work.

youu so much it will mean so much if you can explain how to do this.

It's less confusing if you only think about one of them at a time.

A).
Change the whole thing to all inches.
(Multiply the 8-ft by  12inches/foot.)
Then, when you have it all in one number of inches,
multiply that number of inches by  (2.54 centimeters/inch).

B).
1 ounce is the weight of 28.35 grams (on Earth).
Multiply the 300g by  (1 ounce / 28.35 g).

C).
Multiply the liters by (0.264 gallon/liter)
Multiply the km by (1 mile / 1.609 km).
Then you'll have a fraction that actually means
                 (a number of gallons) divided by (a number of miles).
Do the division, and you'll have the gallons per mile.

D).
The area of any rectangle is (length) times (width).
The area of this living room is (13-ft times 14-ft), and that's in square feet.
You know how much 1 square foot of carpet costs.
Just multiply that price by the number of square feet that you need.

The reporter forgot to multiply the decimal by 100, making it 25%
