How to Convert Kilometers to Inches
Example: How many inches are equivalent to 76.39 kilometers?
As;
1 kilometers = 39370.08 inches
76.39 kilometers = Y inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 76.39 times 39370.08 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 76.39 * 39370.08 / 1 = 3007480.4112 inches
Answer is: 3007480.4112 inches are equivalent to 76.39 kilometers.
