Answer:
12.0396 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that in 1 meter, there are 100 cm, we can write:
1 m = 100 cm (divide both sides by 100)
1/100 m = 1 cm
re-writing this equation, we get:
1 cm = 1/100 m or,
1 cm = 0.01 m
2.54 cm = 2.54 x 0.01 = 0.0254 m, or
2.54 cm = 0.0254 m -----> equation 1
Also given that in 1 inch, there are 2.54 cm, we can write
1 inch = 2.54 cm (substitute equation 1 into this equation)
1 inch = 0.0254m
474 inches = 474 x 0.254 = 12.0396 meters (answer)
