A dictionary is 3 inches thick. If 12 of them are stacked on top of each other, how many feet high would the stack be? Round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.
432 feet
3.68 feet
36 feet
3 feet
Answer
Final Answer: The stack of dictionaries would be \(\boxed{3.0}\) feet high.
Step 1 ：Given that each dictionary is 3 inches thick, and there are 12 dictionaries stacked on top of each other, we first calculate the total height in inches. This is done by multiplying the thickness of one dictionary by the number of dictionaries: \(3 \times 12 = 36\) inches.
Step 2 ：Next, we convert this height from inches to feet. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we divide the total height in inches by 12: \(\frac{36}{12} = 3.0\) feet.
Step 3 ：Final Answer: The stack of dictionaries would be \(\boxed{3.0}\) feet high.
