when a measurement in inches is converted to centimeters, will the number of centimeters be greater or less than the number of inches? Explain.
The number or centimeters will be greater than the number of inches, because the smaller of a unit you convert a number to, the larger the number will become.
The number of centimeters is greater than the number of inches. A centimeter is smaller than an inch. So it takes more centimeters to go the same distance.
