Convert 5 pulgadas a metros.

(Datos: [tex]1[/tex] pulgada = [tex]2.54[/tex] cm y [tex]1[/tex] m = [tex]100[/tex] cm)

Answer :

We need to convert a given number of inches to meters. In this case, we are converting
[tex]$$25\text{ inches}$$[/tex]
to meters, knowing that:
[tex]$$1 \text{ inch} = 2.54 \text{ cm} \quad \text{and} \quad 1 \text{ m} = 100 \text{ cm}.$$[/tex]

Step 1. Convert inches to centimeters.

Since one inch is equivalent to 2.54 centimeters, for 25 inches we have:
[tex]$$\text{cm} = 25 \times 2.54 = 63.5 \text{ cm}.$$[/tex]

Step 2. Convert centimeters to meters.

Now, since 100 centimeters equal 1 meter, we convert 63.5 centimeters by dividing by 100:
[tex]$$\text{meters} = \frac{63.5}{100} = 0.635 \text{ m}.$$[/tex]

Thus, the final result is:
[tex]$$25\text{ inches} = 0.635\text{ m}.$$[/tex]
