Answer:

Answer: 512 inches

Explanation:

Unit Conversion

We need to recall two basic unit conversions for length:

1 inch = 2.54 cm

1 meter = 100 cm

We are given a length of 13 meters. Converting to centimeters:

13 * 100 = 1300 cm

Now convert to inches dividing by 2.54:


1300 / 2.54 \approx 512

Answer: 512 inches
