A removal strip sized 3 inches by 6 inches is equivalent to which measurement in centimeters?

• A. 5 x 10 cm
• B. 7.5 x 15 cm
• C. 8 x 12 cm
• D. 6 x 14 cm

Answer: (B)

Converting inches to centimeters is the idea. In many hands-on contexts, 1 inch is approximated as 2.5 cm for quick calculations. Multiply each dimension by 2.5: 3 inches × 2.5 = 7.5 cm, and 6 inches × 2.5 = 15 cm. So the removal strip is about 7.5 by 15 cm. If you used the exact conversion (1 inch = 2.54 cm), you’d get 7.62 cm by 15.24 cm, which is still very close to 7.5 × 15 cm and matches the rounded option. The other choices don’t align with the 3 by 6 inch size when converted.
