Hi there! Today we’re going to learn about measuring things in different ways, especially when it comes to gardening. Sometimes, we need to know the size of our tools or the plants we are growing in different measurements – like from millimeters (mm) to inches.
Millimeters are a tiny way to measure things, just like if you were counting small bugs in your garden. But sometimes, we use inches when we talk about how big something is, which can be a little easier to picture because we see inches more often in day-to-day life.
Now, let’s find out how to convert 75 mm to inches!
To do this, we use the conversion factor that tells us that 1 inch equals 25.4 mm. To find out how many inches are in 75 mm, we can use the formula:
$$
\text{Inches} = \frac{\text{Millimeters}}{25.4}
$$
So, if we plug in 75 mm into our formula, we get:
$$
\text{Inches} = \frac{75}{25.4} \approx 2.95 \text{ inches}
$$
That means 75 mm is approximately 2.95 inches long.
In your garden, there are many objects that might measure exactly 75 mm. Here are 7 examples:
- A small garden stake for holding up a plant.
- A seedling pot that’s about the same height as the length.
- A twist tie used to bundle up plants.
- A small ruler often used in school.
- The diameter of a coin, like a quarter.
- A garden trowel handle end.
- A part of a flower such as a petal width.
So, now you know how to measure things in your garden and convert them from mm to inches! Happy gardening! 🌱
