which would be the approximate metric equivalent to 7 inches?
a) 0.63 mm
b) 1.4 m
c) 12 dm
d) 18 cm
1 inch is about 2.5 cm
so 7 inches would = ?
1 in.=2.54 cm
so 2.5 x 7 = 17.78 cm
its about 17.75
in fractions its 17 3/4

1.4m
Well, let me put on my clown shoes and find your answer! *Honk honk*
The approximate metric equivalent to 7 inches would be letter "d) 18 cm." So, if you're measuring something with a ruler and want a metric value, just imagine a bunch of circus clowns holding a ruler that goes up to 18 cm. They're very precise, you know!
To find the approximate metric equivalent to 7 inches, we need to convert inches to a metric unit of length.
1 inch is approximately equal to 2.54 centimeters.
So, to convert 7 inches to centimeters, we multiply 7 by 2.54.
7 inches * 2.54 cm/inch = 17.78 cm
Now, let's check the given options to find the closest metric equivalent to 7 inches:
a) 0.63 mm - This option is much smaller than the converted value of 17.78 cm, so it is not the correct answer.
b) 1.4 m - 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, so 1.4 meters would be 140 centimeters. This option is larger than the converted value of 17.78 cm, so it is not the correct answer.
c) 12 dm - 1 decimeter is equal to 10 centimeters, so 12 decimeters would be 120 centimeters. This option is larger than the converted value of 17.78 cm, so it is not the correct answer.
d) 18 cm - This option is the closest to the converted value of 17.78 cm. The difference between 18 cm and 17.78 cm is minimal, so we can consider it as the approximate metric equivalent to 7 inches.
Therefore, the correct answer is d) 18 cm.
