Which of the following values equals:
cm
To solve the problem, let's follow these steps:
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: We know that . Therefore, to convert cm to meters, we divide by :
meters.
Step 2: Among the given choices, we are looking for meters, which matches .
Therefore, the solution to the problem is m.
m
Convert to meters:
\( 40 \) cm
Since 1 meter = 100 centimeters, you need 100 cm to make 1 meter. So to find how many meters are in your centimeters, you divide by 100.
Remember the pattern: each step up gets 10 times bigger. So mm → cm (×10), cm → m (×100), m → km (×1000). Going down means dividing by these same numbers!
First convert to meters: m. Then convert meters to km: km. Two-step process!
Work backwards! If 5000 cm = 50 m, then 50 m should equal 5000 cm. Check: ✓
That would mean cm, not 5000 cm! You're missing a zero. Always double-check your division by multiplying back.
