How do I convert this chemistry problem?
Convert 3.7 ft to cm.
Do I do it like this:
1 ft= 30.48 cm
3.7 ft x 30.48 cm= 112.78
Or is it like this:
1 ft = 12 in
1 in = 2.54 cm
3.7 ft x 12 in= 44.40
44.40/2.54= 17.48
Im thinking its the first one, but Im not sure.

It doesn't matter as long as your conversion factors are correct.
Whenever I do this conversion I do the second way. So it will be 3.7ft times (12inches/1ft) times (2.54cm/1 inch)
