How many inches are there in 5 centimeters?

Question

Hint: 1cm≈0.39in
Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

To convert centimeters to inches, you can use the conversion factor \( 1 , \text{cm} \approx 0.39 , \text{in} \).

For 5 centimeters:

\[ 5 , \text{cm} \times 0.39 , \frac{\text{in}}{\text{cm}} = 1.95 , \text{in} \]

Now, rounding \( 1.95 \) to the nearest tenth:

\[ 1.95 \approx 2.0 \]

Therefore, there are approximately 2.0 inches in 5 centimeters.
