A bolt is ordered with a thread of a diameter of 1.25 inches, what is the diameter in millimeters? If the order was mistaken for 1.25 centimeter by how many millimeters would the bolt be in error?
To convert inches to millimeters, you can multiply the value by 25.4 since there are 25.4 millimeters in an inch.
So, to convert the diameter of 1.25 inches to millimeters:
1.25 inches * 25.4 millimeters/inch = 31.75 millimeters.
Therefore, the diameter of the bolt is 31.75 millimeters.
If the order was mistaken for 1.25 centimeters, to find the error in millimeters:
1.25 centimeters * 10 millimeters/centimeter = 12.5 millimeters.
Therefore, the bolt would be in error by 12.5 millimeters.
To convert inches to millimeters, you can use the conversion factor of 1 inch equals 25.4 millimeters.
1. To find the diameter of the bolt in millimeters, you need to multiply the diameter in inches (1.25 inches) by the conversion factor:
Diameter in millimeters = Diameter in inches × Conversion factor
= 1.25 inches × 25.4 millimeters/inch
= 31.75 millimeters
Therefore, the diameter of the bolt is 31.75 millimeters.
2. If the order was mistaken for 1.25 centimeters, you need to find the difference between the correct diameter (31.75 mm) and the mistaken diameter (1.25 cm), and then convert centimeters to millimeters.
First, convert centimeters to millimeters using the conversion factor of 1 centimeter equals 10 millimeters:
Mistaken diameter in millimeters = Mistaken diameter in centimeters × Conversion factor
= 1.25 cm × 10 mm/cm
= 12.5 mm
Next, find the difference:
Difference in millimeters = Correct diameter in millimeters - Mistaken diameter in millimeters
= 31.75 mm - 12.5 mm
= 19.25 mm
Therefore, the bolt would be in error by 19.25 millimeters if the order was mistaken for 1.25 centimeters.
