Question

Convert 5cm to m

Answer 1

Hint: From the question given we have to convert the $5$cm into m. as we know that the relation between centimeter and the meter. As we know that $1m=100cm$. From this relation by using the ratio and proportion concept we can convert the $5$cm into m.

Complete step-by-step solution:
From the question given we have to convert the $5$cm into m.
As we know that the mathematical relation between the meter and centimeter is
$\Rightarrow 100cm\stackrel{}{\to }1m$
Now we have to get $5$cm in to m that is
$\Rightarrow 5cm\stackrel{}{\to }?\left(x\right)m$
Now by using ratio and proportion concept we will get the value of x
$\Rightarrow x={\displaystyle \frac{5}{100}}m$
Now by converting into decimals or by further simplifying we will get
$\Rightarrow x=0.05m$
Therefore, the conversion of the $5$cm into m is $0.05m$.

Note: Students should know the basic conversions of dimensions like,
 $\begin{array}{rl}& \Rightarrow 1cm=10mm\\ & \Rightarrow 1m=100cm\\ & \Rightarrow 1km=1000m=100000cm\end{array}$
Students should be careful while converting them
