Question

Rich has a bag of 24 pencils. Each pencil is 19 centimeters long. What is the combined length of the pencils in meters

Answer 1

Multiply the number of pencils by the length to get total centimeters first, then convert to meters:

24 x 19 = 456 cams.

1 meter = 100 cm

Divide total cm by 100 to get meters

456 / 100 = 4.56 meters
