How to Convert Between Inches and Centimeters

Subject: Mathematics

Book: Maths Mastery

A vital cross-system conversion, especially in global trade, is between inches (imperial) and centimeters (metric). The approximate formula is 1 inch ≈ 2.54 cm. So, to convert 10 inches, multiply 10 by 2.54 to get 25.4 cm. Conversely, to convert centimeters to inches, divide by 2.54. Proficiency in these conversions is essential for reading height measurements, solving furniture dimension puzzles, or dealing with clothing sizes in international markets. Keeping the 2.54 ratio in mind helps ensure consistent, reliable conversions for everyday needs.
