When we talk about measurements, sometimes we use millimeters (mm) and other times we use inches. You might be wondering how to change one to the other.
Millimeters are a smaller unit of measurement, often used when things are quite small, like the thickness of a plant stem. On the other hand, inches are larger and are often used in gardening for things like measuring pots or the space between plants.
To convert millimeters to inches, you can use a simple equation. The formula to change millimeters to inches is:
$$
\text{Inches} = \text{Millimeters} \div 25.4
$$
So, if you want to change 200 mm into inches, you’d do the math like this:
$$
\text{Inches} = 200 \div 25.4 \approx 7.87
$$
This means that 200 mm is approximately 7.87 inches.
Understanding how to convert these will help you when you’re buying gardening tools or pots that are measured in inches!
Here are 7 objects that are exactly equal to 200 mm:
- A medium-sized planter.
- A standard garden trowel width.
- The diameter of a round flower pot.
- The length of some gardening gloves.
- A small hand rake.
- The height of a young tomato plant’s stem.
- A width of a hand shovel.
Now you know how big 200 mm is in inches and can think of it in terms of things you might use or see in the garden!
