To convert 28 cm to inches, you will need to use the fact that 1 inch is equivalent to 2.54 cm. This means that we can set up a proportion to find the equivalent value in inches. The proportion can be written as:
1 inch / 2.54 cm = x inches / 28 cm
We can solve for x by cross-multiplying and dividing:
(1 inch)(28 cm) = (2.54 cm)(x inches)
28 cm = 2.54x inches
x = 28 cm / 2.54
x = 11.02 inches
Therefore, 28 cm is equivalent to 11.02 inches. To double check our work, we can also use the conversion factor 2.54 cm = 1 inch and divide 28 cm by 2.54 cm to get the same result of 11.02 inches.
