To convert centimeters to inches, we can use the conversion factor that 1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters. Thus, to find the number of inches \( n \) that corresponds to 40.64 centimeters, we can set up the following equation:
\[
n \times 2.54 = 40.64
\]
To solve for \( n \), we can divide both sides of the equation by 2.54:
\[
n = \frac{40.64}{2.54}
\]
Now we can calculate \( n \):
\[
n = \frac{40.64}{2.54} \approx 16
\]
Therefore, there are approximately **16 inches** in 40.64 centimeters.
\[
n \times 2.54 = 40.64
\]
To solve for \( n \), we can divide both sides of the equation by 2.54:
\[
n = \frac{40.64}{2.54}
\]
Now we can calculate \( n \):
\[
n = \frac{40.64}{2.54} \approx 16
\]
Therefore, there are approximately **16 inches** in 40.64 centimeters.
