Question

Your wheat drill has a 7 1/2 inch row spacing. What is the row spacing in centimeters?

Answer 1

19.05 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to write 7 1/2 inches in decimal form, so we get:

`7(1)/(2)=7+(1)/(2)=7+0.5=7.5\text{ inches}`

Then, 1 inch has 2.54 centimeters, so 7.5 inches are equal to:

`7.5\text{ in}*\frac{2.54\text{ cm}}{1\text{ in}}=19.05\text{ cm}`

Therefore, the row spacing is 19.05 cm
