Question

Convert 4.7 in. to centimeters and round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer: 11.9

Explanation:

The conversion rate is 1 inch to 2.54 centimeters. Using this we can setup the equation
`4.7 in * (2.54 cm)/(1 in)`. The inches units will cancel and you will end up with 11.938 cm. Rounded to the nearest tenth and you get 11.9.

Answer 2

11.9 cm

Explanation:

1 in ≈ 2.54 cm

4.7 in ≈ 2.54(4.7) cm

2.54(4.7) = 11.938 cm

11.938 cm rounded to the nearest tenth is 11.9 cm.
