Question

Bill is 70 inches tall. Convert his height to centimeters. (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Convert 70 inches to centimeters

Start with what you are given, which is 70 cm, and use a conversion factor that converts inches to centimeters.

1 inch = 2.54 centimeters

70 in x (2.54 cm/1 in) = 177.8 cm

Note that the inches cancel and you are left with centimeters.

Answer 2

To convert inches to centimeters, we multiply the inches by 2.54 (since 1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters).

So, to convert Bill's height of 70 inches to centimeters, we can use the following formula:

70 inches * 2.54 centimeters per inch = 177.8 centimeters

Rounding this to the nearest tenth, we get:

177.8 centimeters ≈ 177.8 centimeters

Therefore, Bill's height in centimeters is approximately 177.8 centimeters.
