Ryan brought a red milk snake to show during science class. Then snake is 56 centimeters long. Find its length to the nearest whole inch.
1 inch = 2.54 cm
56/2.54 = ? inches
Got it correct!o.45 inches Round it off to the nearest tenth!
To find the length of the red milk snake to the nearest whole inch, we need to convert the given length from centimeters to inches.
There are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch. So, to convert centimeters to inches, we can divide the length in centimeters by 2.54.
Let's calculate it:
56 cm ÷ 2.54 cm/inch = 22.05 inches.
Since we need to round to the nearest whole inch, and 0.05 is closer to 0 than to 1, we round down to the nearest whole inch.
Therefore, the length of the red milk snake to the nearest whole inch is 22 inches.
