Answer:

98.4 inches

Explanation:

You want the length 25.0 meters expressed in inches.

Conversion

There are 0.254 m in an inch, so the distance d can be found from the proportion ...

d/(25 m) = (1 in)/(0.254 m)

Multiplying by 25 m, we find ...

d = 25/0.254 in ≈ 98.4252 in

The length is about 98.4 inches.

Additional comment

The value to convert is given to 3 significant figures. The conversion factor is exact. The answer is appropriately expressed using 3 significant figures.
