You want the units to cancel. Think of what you already have as a value /1. So if you have 90 inches, you would write it as:
90 inches/1 * 2.54 cm/1 inch
This makes the inch on the left cancel with the inch on the right, leaving you with cm as the units for your answer.
1/2.54 = x/54 x = 21.26
kilo, hecto, deca, base, deci. centi, mili, micro, nano. 5.00 decimiters. Move the decimal one place to the right because since centi is smaller than deci you will have more of it. its 50.0 centimeters
The larger spaces are usually inches. The other side will be in centimeters. In the picture above you can see the longer lines, with the numbers next to them. Those are the inches. The shorter lines represent the centimeters. There are 2.54cm to each inch. So if you have 29.5 cm it will be 11.55 inches. If you are measuring it in inches, then 29.5 inches is 74.93 cm.
40.2 Centi means 100 so there are 100 centimeters in a meter. Millimeter means 1000 so there are 1000 millimeters in a meter. So 1 cm = 10 mm Divide by 10 or Move the decimal point one place to the left.

Inches
You would place "centimeters" in numerator and "centimeters per inch" in the denominator. (centimeters)/(centimeters/inch) = [(centimeters) x (inch)] / [centimeters] which yields "inch(es)"

inches go in the numerator
Centi is the prefix for one hundredth so numerator = 100 an denominator = 1.

An inch is equivalent to 2.54 centimeters. Having said that, if you take the formula C= x * 2.54 (x being inches and C being centimeters you will get your answer) Just plug in the inches you want to convert to centimeters into the equation in the place of x and solve the equation you will be able to calculate the conversion.
2843in x 1ft/12in x 1mi/5280ft = 0.04487mi
move the decimal one place over to the right. :]
