Answer:


47in=1193.8mm

Detailed Explanation: We have to convert the 47 Inches to millimeters. The conversion factor between the two is:


47in*((mm)/(in))

The factor in parenthesis is:


47in*((mm)/(in))\rightarrow((mm)/(in))=((25.4mm)/(1in))

Therefore the answer is:


47in*((25.4mm)/(1in))=1193.8mm

Conclusion: The average of 47in is 1193.8mm.
