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.
In converting 54 cm to inches, you would place the unit "inches" in the numerator of the ratio. Since there are 2.54 cm in 1 inch, the ratio would be written as 1 inch/2.54 cm.
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
To use a ruler, place the 0 mark at one end of the object you want to measure. Then, read the measurement at the opposite end where it aligns with the ruler markings. Make sure to use the correct units (inches, centimeters, etc.) as indicated on the ruler.
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.
To measure an insole, remove it from the shoe and place it on a flat surface. Use a ruler to measure the length from the tip of the insole to the heel, and the width from the widest part of the insole. Record these measurements in either inches or centimeters.
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
