935.6 in X 1 yd/36 in= 25.99 yd
f. 23.5 million nanometers to millimeters.
23,500,000 nm X 1 mm/10^6 nm= 23.5 mm
g. 98.6 inches to meters.
98.6 in X .0254 m/1 in= 2.50444 m
3. The width of a strand of fiber is 19.2 micrometers. If 1500 strands are adhered side by side, how wide would the resulting fabric be if measured in centimeters?
19.2 µm X 1500= 28,800 µm
28,000 µm X 1 cm/10^4 µm= 2.88 cm
