There are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch. There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter. To the nearest meter, how many meters are in 474 inches?

PLS ANSWER ASAP

12.0396 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in 1 meter, there are 100 cm, we can write:

1 m = 100 cm   (divide both sides by 100)

1/100 m = 1 cm  

re-writing this equation, we get:

1 cm = 1/100 m  or,

1 cm = 0.01 m

2.54 cm = 2.54 x 0.01 = 0.0254 m, or

2.54 cm = 0.0254 m > equation 1

Also given that in 1 inch, there are 2.54 cm, we can write

1 inch = 2.54 cm (substitute equation 1 into this equation)

1 inch = 0.0254m

474 inches = 474 x 0.254 = 12.0396 meters (answer)
