Answer 1

Given:

Unit inch has 32 division units.

To find:

• What is the equivalent of 16 division units in inches?
• What is the equivalent of 28 division units in inches?
• Value in cm ?

Calculation:

Unit inch means 1 inch .

$\therefore \: 32 \: divisions \equiv 1 \: inch$

$\implies \: 16 \: divisions \equiv \dfrac{1}{32} \times 16 = 0.5 \: inch$

$\implies \: 28 \: divisions \equiv \dfrac{1}{32} \times 28 = 0.875\: inch$

Now, converting the value to cm:

$1 \: inch = 2.54 \: cm$

$\implies \: 0.5 \: inch = 2.54 \times 0.5 = 1.27 \: cm$

$\implies \: 0.875 \: inch = 2.54 \times 0.875 = 2.22 \: cm$

Hope It Helps.
