How to Convert Centimeters to Inches
Example: How many inches are equivalent to 44.06 centimeters?
As;
1 centimeters = 0.393701 inches
44.06 centimeters = Y inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 44.06 times 0.393701 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 44.06 * 0.393701 / 1 = 17.34646606 inches
Answer is: 17.34646606 inches are equivalent to 44.06 centimeters.
