Q4). Alexa buys three mangoes, one apple and a dozen bananas for $2.36. Robb
buys two apples and a dozen mangoes for $5.26. Finn buys two bananas and three
apples for $2.77. How much do single pieces of each fruit cost?

% Task 4:
A = [3 1 12 ;12 2 0;0 3 2];
B = [2.36;5.26;2.77];
C = inv(A)*B

OutPut:

Mangoe = 0.29 D , Apple = 0.89 D and Banana = 0.05 D

Q5). Write a function file that converts temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (◦F) to

5
BCE-III-A Introduction to MATLAB

degrees Centigrade (◦C). Use input and fprintf commands to display a mix of text

and numbers. Recall the conversion formulation, C = 5/9 ∗ (F − 32).

% Task 5
Feh = input('Enter deg in F\n');
celsius = 5*(A-32)/9;
fprintf('%d Fahrenheit is = %d celsius\n',Feh,celsius)

OutPut:

Q6. Write a user-defined MATLAB function, with two input and two output
arguments that determines the height in centimeters (cm) and mass in kilograms
(kg) of a person from his height in inches (in.) and weight in pounds (lb).
▪ Determine in SI units the height and mass of a 5 ft.15 in. person who
weight 180 lb.
▪ Determine your own height and weight in SI units.

% Task 6:
function [cht , kwht] = bodyconversion ( fht , iht , lwht )
% Convert the weight from lb's to kg's and the height from ft and inches to cm's
% fht = height in feet
% iht = feet in inches
% lwht = weight in lbs

fht = input ( 'Enter your height in feet here: ' ) ;

iht = input ( 'Enter your height in inches here: ' ) ;
lwht = input ( 'Enter your weight in pounds here: ' ) ;

% Conversion formula for feet to inches is in = ft * 12

convertin = fht * 12 ;
% conversion formula from inches to centimeters is: cm = inch * 2.54
% Where height in inches includes feet.
cht = ( convertin + iht ) * 2.54 ;
% convert weight from lbs to kg formula is 1kg = 2.205 lbs
kwht = lwt / 2.205 ;
fprintf ( '%.5 ft, %5 in is %.5cm\n' , fht , iht , cht ) ;
fprintf ( '%.5 lbs is %.5 kg\n' , lwht , kht )

Bodyconversion:
Enter your height in feet here: 5.7
Enter your height in inches here: 68.4
Enter your weight in pounds here: 127.28
