How to Convert Centimeters to Inches
Example: How many inches are equivalent to 78.45 centimeters?
As;
1 centimeters = 0.393701 inches
78.45 centimeters = Y inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 78.45 times 0.393701 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 78.45 * 0.393701 / 1 = 30.88584345 inches
Answer is: 30.88584345 inches are equivalent to 78.45 centimeters.
