Seven inches are equivalent to 17.78 cm. Find the equation converting length in cm to length in inches. What is the length in inches of a 96.2 cm bar.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "Seven inches are equivalent to 17.78 cm. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"7in+=+17.78cm\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Solve that for cm.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Divide both sides by 17.78\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"7in%2F17.78+=+17.78cm%2F17.78\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\".3937007874in+=+cm\"}\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Write \"cm\" as \"1cm\"\r\n" );
document.write( "and reverse the equality:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"1cm+=.3937007874in\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Let N = the number of centimeters\r\n" );
document.write( "we wish to convert.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then we multiply both sides by N:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"%28N%29cm+=+%28.3937007874%2AN%29in\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "That's the formula.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore to find the length in inches of a 96.2 cm bar,\r\n" );
document.write( "we substitute 96.2 for N:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"%28N%29cm+=+%28.3937007874%2AN%29in\"\r\n" );
