A 20 inch long piece of rope is approximately 0.5 meters long. What is the length, in inches, of a rope that is 2.5 meters long, rounded to the nearest tenth?

100 inches (using the given data)

98.43 (using exact numbers)

Step-by-step explanation:

1 inch = 2.54 centimeters

20 inches = 50.8 centimeters, but for the purpose of answering this question we will assume that 20 inches = 0.5 meters (instead of 0.58).

we must solve the following equation:

20 inches / 0.5 meters = X inches / 2.5 meters

(2.5  meters x 20 inches) / 0.5 meters = X inches

20 inches x 5 = X inches

100 inches = X inches

if we do the exact calculation, 2.5 meters in inches = 250 centimeters / 2.54 centimeters per inch = 98.43 inches
