🔍 Key Concepts

• Metric to Imperial conversion between meters and inches • Relationship between centimeters and inches (2.54 cm in 1 inch) • Knowing that 1 meter = 100 centimeters

💭 Think About

• First convert 1 meter into centimeters, then think about how many inches fit into that many centimeters using 2.54 cm per inch. • Estimate: is a meter a little longer or shorter than a yard (36 inches), and by about how much? • Compare each choice to your estimate of inches in a meter and eliminate options that are clearly too small or too large.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters as the conversion factor. • Calculate (or estimate) 100 ÷ 2.54 to find inches in one meter. • Check that your result is close to one of the answer choices and that it makes sense compared with 36 inches in a yard.
