HOMEWORK

Solve.
3. Henry's desk is 1 meter long. His nametag is
8 centimeters long. Henry says his nametag is
7 centimeters longer than his desk. What error
did Henry make? Explain how to correct it.

Answer 1

1 meter is 100 centimeters

Henry misread the meters part and assumed his desk was 1 centimeter, which is why he thought his nametag was 7 cm longer.

In reality, his desk is 92 cm longer (100 cm - 8 cm = 92 cm)
