Question

An inch is equal to about 2.54 centimeters. Write an expression which estimates the number of centimeters in x inches. Then estimate the number of centimeters in 12 inches.
I don't get this math question at all!!!

Answer 1

We can write:

2.54x

Where 'x' is the number of inches.

Plug in 12 for 'x':

2.54(12)

30.48

So 12 inches is approximately 30.48 centimeters.

Answer 2

2.54x

this question is just asking you to multiply 2.54 by 12

so 2.54x12 is 30.48
