Hey there! Today, we’re going to discover how to convert measurements from centimeters to inches. This is super useful, especially when you’re gardening and want to know how big things really are!
First, let’s understand what these units mean. A centimeter (cm) is a metric unit used to measure length, and inches are part of the imperial system. Sometimes when we’re planting or measuring garden supplies, we might see measurements in both centimeters and inches.
To convert 120 centimeters to inches, we use a specific formula. The conversion factor is that 1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters. So to find out how many inches are in 120 centimeters, you can use the following equation:
$$
\text{Inches} = \frac{\text{Centimeters}}{2.54}
$$
Plugging in our number:
$$
\text{Inches} = \frac{120}{2.54} \approx 47.24
$$
This means that 120 centimeters is approximately 47.24 inches.
Now that you know how to convert centimeters to inches, let’s think about some objects that are exactly equal to 120 centimeters! Here are 7 examples of things that measure 120 cm:
