How many millimeters are in 1 inch? Conversion factors: 10 mm = 1 cm, and 2.5 cm = 1 inch Show all work using dimensional analysis
To convert inches to millimeters, we'll use the given conversion factors:
1 inch = 2.5 cm
1 cm = 10 mm
First, we'll convert inches to centimeters:
1 inch * (2.5 cm / 1 inch) = 2.5 cm
Now, we'll convert centimeters to millimeters:
2.5 cm * (10 mm / 1 cm) = 25 mm
Therefore, there are 25 millimeters in 1 inch.
To convert inches to millimeters using dimensional analysis, we can set up conversion factors as follows:
1 inch = 2.5 cm
1 cm = 10 mm
To convert 1 inch to millimeters, we can multiply the given value by the conversion factors.
1 inch * 2.5 cm/inch * 10 mm/cm = 25 mm
Therefore, there are 25 millimeters in one inch.
