Question

Randall has been practicing his conversions. He said 40 cm is 400 m. Use reasoning to explain why his conversion is incorrect.

Answer 1

Answer = meters are bigger than centimeters so we have that conversion is wrong just by common sense. There are 100 centimeters to 1 meter.
Second, to convert cm to m, multiply the given centimeter value by 0.01 m. So 40 x .01 = .4 meters
