Answer:
100 inches (using the given data)
98.43 (using exact numbers)
Step-by-step explanation:
1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
20 inches = 50.8 centimeters, but for the purpose of answering this question we will assume that 20 inches = 0.5 meters (instead of 0.58).
we must solve the following equation:
20 inches / 0.5 meters = X inches / 2.5 meters
(2.5 meters x 20 inches) / 0.5 meters = X inches
20 inches x 5 = X inches
100 inches = X inches
if we do the exact calculation, 2.5 meters in inches = 250 centimeters / 2.54 centimeters per inch = 98.43 inches
