How to Convert Centimeter to Inch?
1 centimeter is approximately equal to 0.3937 inches.
1 cm = (1/2,54)″ = 0,3937007874″
d(″) = d(cm) / 2,54, where
d(″) – length in decimal inches (″),
d(cm) – length in centimeters (cm).
Example.
Suppose a person has a piece of fabric that is 150 centimeters long. To convert this measurement to inches, we can use a conversion factor: 1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters.
d(″) = d(cm) / 2,54, where = 150 / 2.54 = 59.06 inches.
How to Convert Centimeters to Fractional Inches?
Let’s convert 10 centimeters to fractional inches:
- Convert centimeters to inches. Equivalent Inches = 10 cm / 2.54 ≈ 3.937 inches
- Convert inches to fractional inches:
- a. Decimal portion: 3.937 – 3 = 0.937
- b. Let’s find the closest common fraction (by using common fractions such as 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, etc). One common fraction close to 0.937 is 15/16 (0.9375).
So, 10 centimeters is approximately equal to 3 15/16 inches.
