fluid ounce 1 = 30 milliliters 1 cubic centimeter = 1 milliliter
1 1/5 inches = mm (type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mixed - number to decimal

$1\frac{1}{5}=1 + \frac{1}{5}=1+0.2 = 1.2$ inches.

Step2: Convert inches to centimeters

Since $1$ inch $ = 2.54$ centimeters, then $1.2$ inches $\times2.54$ centimeters per inch $=1.2\times2.54 = 3.048$ centimeters.

Step3: Convert centimeters to millimeters

Since $1$ centimeter $ = 10$ millimeters, then $3.048$ centimeters $\times10=30.48$ millimeters.

Step4: Round to the nearest tenth

Rounding $30.48$ to the nearest tenth gives $30.5$ millimeters.

Answer:

$30.5$
