question 20 of 60
a human hair is 41.0 μm across. how many inches is this?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall conversion factors

We know that 1 inch = 2.54 cm and 1 cm = 10000 $\mu$m. So 1 inch = 2.54×10000 $\mu$m = 25400 $\mu$m.

Step2: Set up conversion

To convert 41.0 $\mu$m to inches, we use the conversion factor $\frac{1}{25400}$ inches per $\mu$m. So the calculation is $41.0\times\frac{1}{25400}$.

Step3: Calculate result

$41.0\times\frac{1}{25400}= 0.00161$ inches.

Answer:

0.00161
