Which rope is longer? Can you compare 15 inches with 2 feet? No!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To compare the lengths, the two measurements must be in the same units. You must convert <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/measurements\/inch\">inches<\/a> into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/measurements\/foot\">feet<\/a> or feet to inches and then compare. This is what we call a length conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 foot = 12 inches<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 feet = 24 inches &gt; 15 inches<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, 2 feet &gt; 15 inches<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Length is a fundamental physical quantity, measured in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/algebra\/unit\">units<\/a> like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/measurements\/meter-m\">meters<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/measurements\/centimeter\">centimeters<\/a>, inches, or feet, used to describe the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/measurements\/size\">size<\/a> of an object from one end to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

Convert 200 m to km.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the length conversion formula for meters to kilometers, we have<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 km = 1000 m<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 m = $\\frac{1}{1000}$ km<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>200 m = $\\frac{200}{1000}$ = 0.2 km<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Which is longer? 48 inches or 4 feet?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To compare lengths, bring both measurements in the same unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 feet = 12 inches<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4 feet = $12 \\times 4$ inches = 48 inches<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, 48 inches = 4 feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. How many inches are there in 6 feet?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 feet = 12 inches<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6 feet = $6 \\times 12$ = 72 inches<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. How many millimeters are there in 4 hectometers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 hectometer = 100 meter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 meter = 1000 millimeters<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To convert 1 hectometer into millimeters, you move 5 positions to the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So multiply by 10<sup>5<\/sup> = 1,00,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 hectometer = 1,00,000 millimeters<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4 hectometers = 4 \u00d7 1,00,000 = 4,00,000 millimeters<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.

So, to convert miles into kilometers, you multiply the number of miles by 1.60934. Conversely, you divide the kilometers by 1.60934 to convert kilometers into miles.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is Length Conversion? Length conversion refers to converting measurements of length or distance from one unit to another.
