Answer
55.12 in (to nearest 2 decimal places)
Work Step by Step
First, convert dm to cm:
1dm = 10cm
14dm = 140cm
Second, convert cm to inches by dividing by the value 2.54:
1 in = 2.54 cm
$\frac{1}{2.54} in = 1 cm$
$\frac{140}{2.54} in = 140cm$
Ans = $\frac{140}{2.54}$ in = 55.1181102362 in
$\approx 55.12$ in (to nearest 2 decimal places)
