Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn how to convert measurements from millimeters to inches. This is super useful, especially if you’re in the garden and need to know the size of a plant pot or the length of some garden tools!
First, let’s understand what these measurements mean. Millimeters (mm) and inches (in) are both ways to measure length. There are 25.4 millimeters in one inch. This means that to convert millimeters to inches, we can use the formula:
$$ \text{inches} = \frac{\text{millimeters}}{25.4} $$
So, if we want to convert 221 mm to inches, we would do this calculation:
$$ \text{inches} = \frac{221 \text{ mm}}{25.4} \approx 8.70 \text{ in} $$
This means that 221 mm is about 8.7 inches.
Now, here are 7 objects that are exactly equal to 221 mm:
- A medium-sized flower pot (diameter).
- The length of a standard book (like a children’s storybook).
- A small ruler used for school projects.
- The height of a regular-sized tomato plant from the base of the pot to the top.
- A small garden trowel (length of the blade).
- The width of a handful of carrots tied together.
- The height of a decorative garden gnome.
So next time you’re working in the garden, you’ll know exactly how to measure things and convert between millimeters and inches! Happy gardening!
