To convert 11cm to inches, you will need to use the conversion factor of 2.54cm = 1 inch. This means that for every 2.54cm, there is 1 inch. To convert 11cm to inches, follow these steps:
Step 1: Write down the conversion factor of 2.54cm = 1 inch. This will be used in all calculations.
Step 2: Write down the value of 11cm that needs to be converted to inches.
Step 3: Start by converting the whole number part of the measurement. In this case, 11cm is a whole number, so we will convert it first. To do this, divide 11 by 2.54. This gives us 4.33, which is the equivalent value in inches.
Step 4: Next, we need to convert the decimal part of the measurement. In this case, the decimal part is 0.33. To convert it, multiply 0.33 by 1 inch (since 1 inch is the same as 2.54cm). This gives us 0.8382 inches.
Step 5: Now, add the converted whole number (4.33 inches) and the converted decimal (0.8382 inches). This gives us a final answer of 5.1682 inches.
Therefore, 11cm is equivalent to 5.1682 inches. You can verify this by rounding the final answer to the nearest tenth and checking if it matches the value that comes up when you simply divide 11 by 2.54 (which is 4.33).
