Final answer:
To convert 474 inches to meters, multiply by the conversion factors 2.54 cm = 1 inch and 1 m = 100 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert inches to meters, we can use the conversion factor 2.54 cm = 1 inch. Since there are 100 cm in 1 m, we can set up the conversion as follows:
474 inches * (2.54 cm / 1 inch) * (1 m / 100 cm) = 12.02 m
Therefore, to the nearest meter, there are approximately 12 meters in 474 inches.
