Q

to convert millimeters (mm) to inches (in) multiple by ____

A

0.03937008 example: 1 mm = .03937 inches 4 mm = .15748 inches

26
Q

to convert feet (ft) to meters (m) multiple by ____

A

0.3048 example: 1 ft = .3048 m 4 ft = 1.2192 m

27
Q

to convert inches(in) to millimeters (mm) multiple by ___

A

25.4example: 1 inch = 25.4 mm or 4 inches = 101.6

28
Q

The total length of a measurement from a U.S. customary scaled drawing of 1/8 inch is 3.5 inches. What is the actual length?.125

A

so every 1/8 of an inch = 1 ft, 1/8 =.125 inches (converted to decimal)take 3.5 and divide it by .125 to get the answer since the drawing was 3.5 inches long and each .125 was a ft, it = 28 ft. Answer: 28 ft
