If there are 39.4 inches in 1 meter, then how many inches are in [tex]$x$[/tex] meters?

A. [tex]$\frac{x}{39.4}$[/tex]

B. [tex]$\frac{39.4}{x}$[/tex]

C. [tex]$39.4 + x$[/tex]

D. [tex]$39.4x$[/tex]

Answer :

To find out how many inches are in [tex]\( x \)[/tex] meters, we start from the given information that there are 39.4 inches in 1 meter.

If 1 meter is equal to 39.4 inches, then for [tex]\( x \)[/tex] meters, we simply need to multiply the number of meters ([tex]\( x \)[/tex]) by the number of inches per meter (39.4 inches).

So, mathematically, this is:

[tex]\[
\text{Inches in } x \text{ meters} = 39.4 \times x
\][/tex]

Therefore, the expression that represents the number of inches in [tex]\( x \)[/tex] meters is [tex]\( 39.4x \)[/tex].

So, the correct answer is:

D [tex]\( \quad 39.4x \)[/tex]
