25000mi * 5280 ft/mi * 12in/ft * 2.54cm/in = ____ cm
I have no idea what the picket fence method is, but maybe the conversion above will help
bros please help i need to know how to do that with the picket fence method

I, too, had never heard of the picket fence method so I looked it up. Most explanations were not very well done. However, here is the gist. Basically it is a bunch of factor-label conversions scrooched together and named the picket fence method.
12 inches x | | | | |
-----------------------------
....................| | | | |
where you type in 2.54 cm in the top | | and 1 in in the lower | |. The next factor-label factor goes in the next top | | and bottom | | etc.
Step 1: Determine the conversion factor between miles and centimeters.
1 mile = 160,934.4 centimeters
Step 2: Multiply the given circumference in miles by the conversion factor.
Circumference in centimeters = 25,000 miles * 160,934.4 centimeters/mile
Step 3: Calculate the result.
Circumference in centimeters = 4,023,360,000 centimeters
Therefore, the circumference of Earth is approximately 4,023,360,000 centimeters.
