Answer:
41 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Change 16 1/2 to a mixed number
16 1/2 = (2*16+1)/2 = 33/2
Change 2 1/2 to a mixed number = (2*2+1)/2 = 5/2
Multiply the turns per inch by the inches
33/2 * 5/2 =165/4
Change this back to a mixed number
4 goes into 165 41 times
41*4 = 164 there is 1 left over
41 1/4
Multiply the centimeters by 100
32.00=3 tens 2 ones 30+2=32
