Answer:

126.470588235

Explanation:

I like to set these up like how I set up my radian conversions so what I do is I have one unit on top of a fraction and another on the bottom so it would look like this 1/68 = x/8600 this equation will let us solve for x which would be our inches to get 8600 so we just times 1/68 by 8600 and get 126.470588235 and just to check 126.470588235 * 68 = 8600
