Answer : The correct option is, (C) 20.7 inches
Explanation :
The conversion used from meter to centimeter is:
1 m = 100 cm
The conversion used from centimeter to inches is:
2.54 cm = 1 inch
First we have to convert the length of glass tubing from meter to centimeter.
As, \(1m=100cm\)
So, \(0.525m=\frac{0.525m}{1m}\times 100cm=52.5cm\)
Now we have to convert the length of glass tubing from centimeter to inches.
As, \(2.54cm=1\text{ inch}\)
So, \(52.5cm=\frac{52.5cm}{2.54cm}\times 1\text{ inch}=20.7\text{ inches}\)
Therefore, the length of glass tubing in inches are 20.7 inches.
