Question

Welding electrode sizes are presently given in inches. Convert the following set of electrode sizes to millimeters. (1 in = 25.4 mm)

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} 0.030in=0.762mm \\ 0.035in=0.889mm \end{gathered}`

Step-by-step explanation

We want to convert the electrode sizes to millimeters.

We are given that 1 in is equal to 25.4 mm. This implies that to convert from inches to millimeters, multiply the given measurements in inches by 25.4.

For 0.030 in:

`\begin{gathered} 0.030\text{ }in=0.030*25.4\text{ }mm \\ \Rightarrow0.762\text{ }mm \end{gathered}`

For 0.035 in:

`\begin{gathered} 0.035\text{ }in=0.035*25.4\text{ }mm \\ \Rightarrow0.889\text{ }mm \end{gathered}`

That is the answer.
