Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert feet to inches, we multiply by 12. So, 2 ft = 2 x 12 = 24 inches. Then, we have ², which translates to a single unit (inches), followed by one unit digit (0), twelve tens digits (S1), one hundred digit (U1), and one thousand digit (P). So, the final answer is 24 x 12 x 12 x 1 x 1 = 6,912. However, none of the answer choices match this, so we must assume that the last digit (P0) is a typo and should be P2 (two thousand digit). With this assumption, the answer would be 24 x 12 x 12 x 1 x 2 = 13,824, which when rounded to the nearest whole number is 14,000, which is closest to answer choice B (288).
