inches.

Answer 1

To convert meters to inches, we can use the conversion factor that 1 meter is approximately equal to 39.37 inches.

Given that you want to convert 2 meters to inches:

\[ 2 \text{ meters} \times 39.37 \text{ inches/meter} = 78.74 \text{ inches} \]

Now, rounding 78.74 to the nearest tenth gives:

\[ 78.7 \text{ inches} \]

Thus, the measurement 2 meters is equivalent to 78.7 inches.
