Accepted Solution

A:
Row 1 3 ft  91.44 cm
The ratio is 91.44 cm/ 3 ft = 30.48 cm/ft

Row 2 6 ft 172.88 cm
The ratio is 172.88 cm / 6 ft = 28.81 cm/ft which ius not the same as 30.48 cm/ft.

Row 3 7 ft 213.36 cm

The ratio is 213.36 cm/ 7 ft = 30.48 cm/ft, which is the same as the first ratio.

Since 2 rows have the ratio 30.48 cm/ft, this ratio is correct. The ratio 172.88 cm / 6 ft is incorrect.

6 ft * 30.48 cm/ft = 182.88 cm

Answer:
B.Row 2 should show 6 feet is equivalent to 182.88 centimeters.
