Q. Kingsley knows that 1 inch is about 2.54 centimeters. He wants to write an equation he can use to convert any given length in inches (i) to centimeters (c).How should Kingsley write his equation?Choose 1 answer:(A) c=2.54i(B) i=2.54c(C) ic=2.54
Find Relationship: Kingsley needs to find the relationship between inches and centimeters. We know that 1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters. This means that the number of centimeters is equal to the number of inches multiplied by 2.54.
Write Equation: To write the equation for converting inches to centimeters, we use the given conversion factor. If i represents the length in inches, then the length in centimeters, c, is found by multiplying i by 2.54.
Conversion Equation: The equation that represents this conversion is c=2.54×i. This equation means that for every inch, there are 2.54 centimeters. So, if Kingsley has a length in inches and wants to find out how many centimeters it is, he would use this equation.
