Question

Convert the following:
(a) 300 cm into metre​

Answer 1

Convert the following:

(a) 300 cm into metre

3 metres

Answer 2

3m

Explanation:

• 1 meter equals 100 cm
• We know that
  `1meter=100centimeters`
• Now how many (100 cm)'s are in (300 cm)'s? There are 3 right?
• So if every 100 cm is also a meter and there are 3 of these (100cm)s then they are just the same as 3 meters
• 
  `100cm=1m\\300cm=(x)m` cross multiply
• 
  `100cm(x)m=300cm1m` divide both sides by 100cm
• 
  `(x)m=3m`
