Section titled “Translated text”Each time, verify the given estimates by measuring with steps. Steps are always counted on one leg, for example, the right leg. Multiply the resulting number of steps by two. Teach the youth to quickly convert steps into meters—we achieve relative accuracy by establishing a step of 75 centimetres = 3/4 m (usually a normal male step). For instance, if the measured number of steps is 84, simply divide it by 4 and multiply by 3 to obtain the number of metres. In this case, the distance is $$ rac{84 \cdot 3}{4} = 63$$.
