Converting and Ordering: 11cm, 0.1dm, 90mm, and 0.011m from Smallest to Largest

Question

Order from smallest to largest:

11 11 cm, 0.1 0.1 dm, 90 90 mm, 0.011 0.011 m

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll convert each given length to centimeters:

  • The length 1111 cm is already in centimeters.
  • The length 0.10.1 dm; knowing 11 dm = 1010 cm, gives 0.1×10=10.1 \times 10 = 1 cm.
  • The length 9090 mm; knowing 11 cm = 1010 mm, gives 90/10=990 / 10 = 9 cm.
  • The length 0.0110.011 m; knowing 11 m = 100100 cm, gives 0.011×100=1.10.011 \times 100 = 1.1 cm.

Now, we list the lengths in centimeters:

  1. 0.10.1 dm = 11 cm
  2. 0.0110.011 m = 1.11.1 cm
  3. 9090 mm = 99 cm
  4. 1111 cm = 1111 cm

The correct order from smallest to largest is:

  1. 0.10.1 dm
  2. 0.0110.011 m
  3. 9090 mm
  4. 1111 cm

Therefore, the order from smallest to largest is: 0.1 0.1 dm, 0.011 0.011 m, 90 90 mm, 11 11 cm.

Comparing with the options provided, the correct choice is option 2.

Answer

0.1 0.1 dm
0.011 0.011 m
90 90 mm
11 11 cm
