Answer 2

Assuming you meant 26 miles, 385 yards (that's the length of a marathon, 26.21875 miles, not quite 26.2), we first get that there are 1661220 inches in a marathon. Using the conversion rate of 2.54 cm per inch, which is exact, we get (c) 42,194,988 cm.
For the others, we just multiply this by multiples of 10, using the fact that a mm is 10 cm, a 1000 microns is 1 mm, and 1000 angstroms is 1 micron:
(a) 421,949,880,000 microns.
(b) 421,949,880 mm.
(c) 42,194,988 cm.
(d) 421,949,880,000,000 angstroms.
For the record I think a much better way to measure a marathon is "about 42.2 km".

Answer 3

(26.2 mi)(1,609.344 m /mi) =
4.21648128*10^4 m =
4.21648128*10^10 microns =
4.21648128*10^7 mm =
4.21648128*10^6 cm =
4.21648128*10^14 angstroms

Answer 4

Go to google and type in something like this into the search box

"26.2 miles in centimeters"

See what it says... it usually brings up the google calculator and gives you the conversion. It works with almost any units including money exchange rates. Very cool.
