i need to use this..
in cm/ 1in = m. / 100cm. = meters
i need to use alot of numbers i just need to know how to work out this but i dont kno how.
the number i use is 39
so would i do this.
39 - 2.54cm / 1in = 99.06 m. / 100cm. = .9906m.
is that right or do i need to do it another way.
i need to be able to put that on a graph

use 2.54 to convert from inches into cm
then move the decimal place two places (IE divide by 100) to get meters
39in
39 * 2.54 = 99.06
= 0.99Meters
OR the easy way if you have a lot of numbers i to multiple the inches by 0.0254 to go straight from inches to meters

39 inches is equal to 0.9906 meter, your answer is correct but i did not understand your formula.
The formula is this.
(39 x 2.54)/100 = 0.9906
inches multiplied by 2.54cm then divide the answer with 100.
Your answer is correct though.

39 in * (2.54cm/1in) * (1 m / 100 cm) = 0.9906 m
good job.
