Answer: The length of the path = 157 inches { approx}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length of the path = 4 meters

1 meter = 100 centimeters

So 4 meters = 400 centimeters

Also 1 in. ≈ 2.54 cm

[tex]\Rightarrow\ 1 cm = \dfrac{1}{2.54}\ in.[/tex]

Now, [tex]\text{ 400 centimeters}=400\times\dfrac{1}{2.54}\text{ inches}[/tex]

[tex]=157.480314961\approx 157 \ \ \ \ \ \text{ [Rounded to the nearest inch.]}[/tex]

Hence, the length of the path = 157 inches { approx}
