EDWIN'S SOLUTION:
Convert 710m. to inches. (Go from m to cm to in)
Start by putting over :
Now we want to cancel away the and bring in
. We know that . So there are
two possible unit multipliers which we can make with
that. We can make the unit multiplier
or the unit multiplier . The question
is which one do we make. Since we have in the
numerator, we must use the unit multiplier which has
in the denominator so the 's will cancel.
So we multiply by .
and then the 's cancel, like this

So we have left:
Multiply the numerators and the denominators:
You probably should round that off. Ask your teacher
how he or she wants it rounded.
