How to convert from millimeters to inches?
To transform from millimeters to inches, we can divide the distance in millimeters by 25.4. Therefore, if we have a distance d in millimeters (mm), we divide it by 25.4 to get the inches.
| d(in) = d(mm)/25.4 |
Example 1:
Convert 100 millimeters to inches.
We have to divide the number of millimeters by 25.4. Therefore, we have:
d(in) = 100/25.4
d(in) = 3.937 in
Example 2:
How many inches equals 500 millimeters?
To find the number of inches, we divide by 25.4, and we have
d(in) = 500/25.4
d(in) = 19.685 in
Example 3:
Convert 5 millimeters to inches.
If we divide the millimeters by 25.4, we have:
d(in) = 5/25.4
d(in) = 0.19685 in
