Question

Your wheat drill has a 7 1/2 inch row spacing. What is the row spacing in centimeters?

Answer 1

Answer:

19.05 cm

Explanation:

First, we need to write 7 1/2 inches in decimal form, so we get:

$7\frac{1}{2}=7+\frac{1}{2}=7+0.5=7.5\text{ inches}$

Then, 1 inch has 2.54 centimeters, so 7.5 inches are equal to:

$7.5\text{ in}\times\frac{2.54\text{ cm}}{1\text{ in}}=19.05\text{ cm}$

Therefore, the row spacing is 19.05 cm
