Question

The diameter of #12 wire is 80.81 millimeters. What is its diameter in inches? (Round your answer to five decimal places.)NOTE: Please DO NOT type in the word INCHES in your answer. If you enter the word INCHES, your answer will be considered incorrect.

Answer 1

Given that the diameter of the wire is;

`D(mil)=80.81\text{ millimeters}`

We can find the diameter in inches using the conversion below;

`1\text{inch = 25.4mm}`

We would divide the diameter in millimeters by 25.4 to get its value in inches.

Therefore, the diameter in inches would be;

`\begin{gathered} D(\text{inches)}=(80.81)/(25.4) \\ D(\text{inches)}=3.18150 \end{gathered}`

Answer: 3.18150 Inches
