Answer:

0.393701 cm = 1 in

Explanation:

We want to find the number of centimeters in 1 inch.

First, the two conversion rates we need to use:

1m = 100 cm

1m = 39.3701 in

From these two equations, we can conclude that:

100cm = 1m = 39.3701 in

100cm = 39.3701 in

Because we want to find the total number of centimeters in 1 inch, we need to divide both sides by 39.3701

We will get:

(100cm)/39.3701 = (39.3701 in)/39.3701

0.393701 cm = 1 in

This equation gives us the number of centimeters in one inch.
