Answer :
The ratios of (a) square kens to square meters (1 ken² / 1 m²) is 3.88
For given question,
We have been given the unit conversion.
A traditional unit of length in Japan is the ken
and 1 ken = 1.97 m
We need to find the the ratios of (a) square kens to square meters.
First we find the square of 1 ken.
⇒ 1 square kens = (1.97 m)²
⇒ 1 square kens = 1.97 × 1.97 m²
⇒ 1 square kens = 3.88 m² ..................(1)
And 1 square meters = 1 m² ................. (2)
Now we take the ratio of square kens to square meters.
From (1) and (2),
⇒ 1 ken² / 1 m² = 3.88 / 1
⇒ 1 ken² / 1 m² = 3.88
Therefore, the ratios of (a) square kens to square meters (1 ken² / 1 m²) is 3.88
