#52" inches "= 1.321" metres to 3 decimal places"#

#color(red)("This is where the shortcut method comes from")#

If my recall is accurate

1 metre = #3"ft "3 3/8" inches" ->39.375" inches"#

#color(red)("Using ratio")#

#("metres")/("inches")->1/39.375 = ("answer")/52#

To change 39.375 to 52 we do #39.375xx52/39.375#

What we do to the bottom of a ratio, we also do to the top in order to maintain the proper proportions (for multiply and divide)

#("metres")/("inches")->(color(red)(1xx52/39.375))/(cancel(39.375)xx52/(cancel(39.375))) = ("answer")/52#

So the answer is:#" "color(red)(52/39.375 = 1.32063....."#

So #52" inches "= 1.321" metres to 3 decimal places"#
