Answer: Expression :2.54 x

Number of centimeters in 12 inches : 30.48

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • 1 inch = 2.54 cm

So, to estimate the number of centimeters in x inches:

2.54 x

Where "x" is the number of inches.

To estimate the number of centimeters in 12 inches, we simply replace the variable "x" (number of inches) by the number 12.

Mathematically speaking:

2.54 (12)= 30.48 centimeters

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
