Have you ever wondered how measurements can be different in various places? For example, when you’re gardening, you might use centimeters and meters, but sometimes people use inches and feet instead! Today, we’re going to learn how to change millimeters (that’s what mm stands for) into inches.
To understand this, we need to know how many millimeters are in one inch. The answer is that 1 inch equals 25.4 mm. So if we want to find out how many inches are in 904 mm, we can use the following formula:
$$
\text{Inches} = \frac{\text{Millimeters}}{25.4}
$$
Now, let’s plug in our number:
$$
\text{Inches} = \frac{904 \text{ mm}}{25.4} \approx 35.51 \text{ inches}
$$
So, 904 mm is approximately 35.51 inches. This is a useful measurement for gardeners because it can help you understand how big your garden is, or how long your tools might be!
Here are 7 objects that are exactly 35.51 inches long (or 904 mm):
- A garden shovel (some sizes)
- A child’s height measuring stick
- An average length baseball bat
- A medium-sized rolling pin for baking
- Two ruler lengths placed end to end (each ruler is 12 inches)
- A standard size of a briefcase
- A tall flower pot (some types)
Now you can see how 904 mm relates to everyday things, especially when you’re out in the garden!
