Compare Measurements: 0.6 Meters vs 600 Centimeters

Which is larger?

0.6 mts ⬜ 600 cm

To solve this problem, we'll proceed with the following steps:

• Step 1: Convert 0.6 meters into centimeters.
• Step 2: Use the conversion factor: $1$ meter = $100$ centimeters.
• Step 3: Perform the conversion and compare the results.

Let's work through these steps:

Step 1: The problem gives us 0.6 meters. We need to convert this to centimeters.
Step 2: Using the conversion formula, $1$ meter equals $100$ centimeters.
Step 3: To convert 0.6 meters to centimeters, multiply by the conversion factor:

$0.6 \, \text{meters} \times 100 \, \text{cm/meter} = 60 \, \text{cm}$

Now, we compare 60 cm (from the conversion) with 600 cm:

Since $60 \, \text{cm} < 600 \, \text{cm}$, we conclude:

$0.6 \, \text{mts} < 600 \, \text{cm}$

Thus, the correct answer to the problem is:
