Hey there! Today, we are going to learn how to convert a measurement from millimeters to inches.
Millimeters (mm) and inches are both units used to measure length. When you’re out in the garden, you might want to know how big something is, like a flower or a garden bed, and knowing how to switch between these two types of measurements can help!
To understand how to convert, remember that there are 25.4 millimeters in one inch. This means if you want to find out how many inches there are in 719 millimeters, you can do a little math. You take the number of millimeters and divide it by how many millimeters are in one inch!
So the equation looks like this:
$$
\text{Inches} = \frac{\text{Millimeters}}{25.4}
$$
Now, if you plug in 719 mm into this equation, it looks like this:
$$
\text{Inches} = \frac{719 \text{ mm}}{25.4} \approx 28.346 \text{ inches}
$$
So, 719 mm is approximately 28.35 inches!
Now, let’s think about some examples of things that are exactly 28.35 inches long:
- A standard golf club (some models)
- The height of a small garden gnome
- The length of a medium-sized ruler
- The width of a typical garden wheelbarrow
- The diameter of a large pizza
- The length of a skateboard
- The height of a medium-sized flowerpot
Now you know how to convert from millimeters to inches, and you have some cool examples to think about while you’re gardening! Happy planting! 🌱
