Units of Measurement Practice Problems and Conversions

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the relationship between meters and centimeters.
• Step 2: Convert from m³ to cm³ using the cubed conversion factor.
• Step 3: Perform the calculation of the volume conversion.

Let's work through each step:
Step 1: We understand that 1 meter is equivalent to 100 centimeters.
Step 2: To convert cubic meters to cubic centimeters, we calculate $(100 \, cm/m)^3$.
Step 3: Perform the calculation $100 \times 100 \times 100 = 1,000,000$.

Therefore, the number of cubic centimeters in a cubic meter is $1,000,000 \, cm^3$.

To solve the problem of converting 0.5 meters to centimeters, we proceed with the following steps:

• Step 1: Understand the conversion factor. We know that 1 meter is equivalent to 100 centimeters.
• Step 2: Apply the conversion factor to the given length in meters. Multiply the given length in meters by 100 to convert it to centimeters.

Now, let's apply these steps to solve the problem:
0.5 meters × 100 centimeters per meter = 50 centimeters.

Thus, 0.5 meters is equivalent to 50 centimeters.

Therefore, the correct answer choice is Choice 3: $50$.

In order to answer this question, one must understand that one dollar is equivalent to 100 cents.

Therefore, one dollar is 0.01 cents.

0.18 dollars, therefore, is 18 cents.

You can also achieve this if we multiply by 100.

0.18*100=18

To solve this problem, let's convert the measurement from centimeters to meters by following these steps:

• Identify the given measurement: $40$ cm.
• Recall the conversion factor: $1$ meter = $100$ centimeters.
• Apply the conversion factor to convert $40$ cm into meters by dividing by $100$:
  $\frac{40}{100} = 0.4$ meters.

This calculation shows that $40$ cm is equivalent to $0.4$ meters.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $0.4$.

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the given measurement of $5 \text{ cm}$.
• Step 2: Use the conversion factor from centimeters to millimeters, which is $1 \text{ cm} = 10 \text{ mm}$.
• Step 3: Multiply the number of centimeters by the conversion factor: $5 \text{ cm} \times 10 \text{ mm/cm} = 50 \text{ mm}$.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Our initial measurement is $5 \text{ cm}$.
Step 2: We know that $1 \text{ cm} = 10 \text{ mm}$.
Step 3: By multiplying $5 \text{ cm}$ by $10 \text{ mm/cm}$, we obtain $50 \text{ mm}$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $50 \text{ mm}$, which matches choice 4.
