Question

The femur, or thigh bone, of an average human is 480 millimeters long.

Which is this length in meters?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.48 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

1 millimeter = 0.001 meters

`(480mm)/(1) * (1 mm)/(0.001 m) = (480 mm)/(0.001 m)\\`

Millimeters cancel out, and you are left with meters.

480 divided by 0.001 is 0.48 meters.
