Hey there! Today we’re going to learn about a measurement called millimeters (mm) and how to change them into inches. This can be really helpful for things like gardening when you’re measuring seeds, plants, or garden tools.
So, what does it mean to convert 28 mm into inches? Well, there’s a simple way to do it! One inch is equal to 25.4 millimeters. To find out how many inches 28 mm is, we can use a small math equation:
$$
\text{Inches} = \frac{\text{Millimeters}}{25.4}
$$
Now, let’s plug in our number:
$$
\text{Inches} = \frac{28 \text{ mm}}{25.4} \approx 1.102 \text{ inches}
$$
That means 28 mm is about 1.1 inches!
Understanding these measurements can really help you when planting seeds in your garden, as you might need to know how far apart to plant them or how long your gardening tools are.
Here are 7 objects that are exactly 28 mm long:
- A AA battery (the part that sticks out)
- A small golf tee
- A thumbtack (from point to head)
- A medium-sized button (like a shirt button)
- A pencil eraser (the typical pink one)
- A standard paperclip (a bit longer than the width)
- A small coin (like a dime, depending on the exact measurement)
So the next time you’re in the garden, you can think about how much 28 mm is and how it relates to the things around you! Happy gardening!
