Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale 1: First, you must convert the current length in inches to cm. Cm/exposed = 2.5 cm/1 inch x 12 inches/1. Multiply the numerators (2.5 x 12 = 30). Multiply the denominators (1 x 1 = 1). 30/1 = 30 cm. The original exposed length was 25 cm. The exposed length now is 30 cm. Therefore, there are 5 additional cm of tubing is exposed.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale 1: kg = 1 kg/2.2 lbs x 121 lbs/1. Multiply the numerators (1 x 121 = 121). Multiply the denominators (2.2 x 1 = 2.2). 121/2.2 = 55 lbs.
