Answer 1

To convert meters to inches, you can use the following conversion factors:

1 meter = 100 centimeters
1 inch = 2.54 centimeters

First, we convert meters to centimeters and then centimeters to inches. Since we want to convert 4 meters to inches:

1. Convert meters to centimeters:
\[
4 \text{ meters} \times 100 \text{ centimeters/meter} = 400 \text{ centimeters}
\]

2. Convert centimeters to inches:
\[
400 \text{ centimeters} \div 2.54 \text{ centimeters/inch} \approx 157.48 \text{ inches}
\]

So, 4 meters is approximately 157.48 inches.

Using your format:
a = 4
b = 0 (not used)
c = 157.48
d = inches
