Hey there, young gardener! 🌱 Today, we’re going to learn how to convert measurements from millimeters (mm) to inches. This is super useful if you’re measuring the height of plants, the width of garden beds, or any other gardening tools!
So, what does it mean when we say 471 mm? Millimeters are a very small unit of measurement, and there are 25.4 millimeters in one inch. To find out how many inches 471 mm is, we can use a simple equation.
We take the number of millimeters and divide it by the number of millimeters in one inch:
$$ \text{Inches} = \frac{\text{Millimeters}}{25.4} $$
If we plug in our number:
$$ \text{Inches} = \frac{471}{25.4} $$
Calculating that gives us approximately 18.5 inches. So, 471 mm is the same as about 18.5 inches!
Now that you understand how to convert measurements, let’s think about seven objects that are exactly equal to 471 mm or 18.5 inches:
