How to convert inches to meters

1 inch is equal to 0.0254 meters:

1″ = 0.0254m

The distance d in meters (m) is equal to the distance d in inches (″) times 0.0254:

d(m) = d(″) × 0.0254

Inches to Meters Formula

m=in/39.370

Example

Convert 20 inches to meters:

d(m) = 20″ × 0.0254 = 0.508m

Convert 50 inches to meters:

d(m) = 50″ × 0.0254 = 1.270m

Convert 100 inches to meters:

d(m) = 100″ × 0.0254 = 2.540m
