How to Convert Inches to Meters?
As follows from the definition of yard, one inch is exactly 0.0254 meters long.
A meter is abbreviated as m, whereas inch or inches (plural) in short form is ″ or in.
To obtain meters multiply the length by 0.0254. The formula is: [m] = [in] x 0.0254. Thus, you get:
1″ = 0.0254 meters
1 in to m = 0.0254 meters
