Question

The length of a pencil is 15 cm. Express it in meters. A) 1.5 meters B) 0.015 meters C) 0.15 meters D) 15 meters

Answer 1

To answer this question, we first need to understand the relationship between centimeters and meters.

1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters. Therefore, to convert from centimeters to meters, we divide the number of centimeters by 100.

Since our pencil length is 15 centimeters, to convert this to meters, we divide 15 by 100.

15 divided by 100 equals 0.15.

Therefore, the length of the pencil in meters is 0.15

So the correct answer is C) 0.15 meters.
