Question

If the above cat measures 15 inches, how many centimeters (cm) is that, if 1 inch = 2.54 cm.Show how you got your answer please.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Inch = Cm

1 = 2.54

15 = ?

We have to find out the question mark. So to do this we have to find out how we got from 1 to 15. We did this by multiplying by 15.

Inch = Cm

1 = 2.54

×15

15 = ?

So we must do the same on the other side.

1 = 2.54

×15 ×15

15 = ?

2.54×15=38.1

1 = 2.54

×15 ×15

15 = 38.1

The answer is therefore 38.1cm

Hope this helped!
