10)  

 Convert. Write your answer as a decimal.

1.9 m = m cm 


Answer:_______________




 

1)  

 convert;

9.7cm = Answer: 9 cm Answer: 7 mm


SOLUTION 1 :

Remember:

1 centimetre (cm) = 10 millimetres (mm)

Separate the whole number part and decimal part.

9.7 cm = 9 cm + 0.7 cm

Convert the 0.7 centimetres to millimetres.

Multiply:

0.7 × 10 = 7

0.7 cm = 7 mm

Now express the original measurement in centimetres and millimetres:

9.7 cm = 9 cm + 0.7 cm

9.7 cm = 9 cm 7 mm
 



2)  

 convert;

937cm = Answer: 9 m Answer: 37 cm


SOLUTION 1 :

Remember:

1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm)

 

Find out how many metres are in 117 centimetres.

 

Divide:

937 ÷ 100 = 9 R 37

There is 9 metre, with 37 centimetres left over.

937 cm = 9 m 37 cm

 



3)  

 convert;

  Answer: 8 m Answer: 35 cm = 835cm 


SOLUTION 1 :

Remember:

1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm)

 Find out how many metres are in 835 centimetres.

 multiply:

8 x 100 = 800

 

8 m = 800 cm

 

Now add this to the centimetre you already have:

800 cm 35 cm = 800 cm + 35 cm

 835 cm = 800cm + 35 cm

 

 



4)  

 Convert. Write your answer as a decimal.

4 cm 6 mm = Answer: 4.6 cm


SOLUTION 1 :

1 centimetre (cm) = 10 millimetres (mm)

Convert the 6 millimetres to centimetres.

Divide:

6 ÷ 10 = 0.6

6 mm = 0.6 cm

Now add this to the 4 centimetres you already have:

4 cm 6 mm = 4 cm + 0.6 cm

4 cm 6 mm = 4.6 cm



5)  

 Convert. Write your answer as a decimal.

3.3 m = Answer: 3 m Answer: 30 cm 


SOLUTION 1 :

1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm)

 

Separate the whole number part and decimal part.

 

3.3 m = 3 m + 0.3 m

Convert the 0.3 metres to centimetres.

Multiply:

0.3 × 100 = 30

0.3 m = 30 cm

Now express the original measurement in metres and centimetres:

3.3 m = 3 m + 0.3 m

3.3 m = 3 m  30 cm

 



6)  

 convert;

2.5cm = Answer: 2 cm Answer: 5 mm


SOLUTION 1 :

Remember:

1 centimetre (cm) = 10 millimetres (mm)

Separate the whole number part and decimal part.

2.5 cm = 2 cm + 0.5 cm

Convert the 0.5 centimetres to millimetres.

Multiply:

0.5 × 10 = 5

0.5 cm = 5 mm

Now express the original measurement in centimetres and millimetres:

2.5 cm = 2 cm + 0.5 cm

2.5 cm = 2 cm 5 mm
 



7)  

 convert;

227cm = Answer: 2 m Answer: 27 cm


SOLUTION 1 :

Remember:

1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm)

 

Find out how many metres are in 117 centimetres.

 

Divide:

227 ÷ 100 = 2 R 27

There is 2 metre, with 27 centimetres left over.

227 cm = 2 m 27 cm

 



8)  

 convert;

  Answer: 6 m Answer: 56 cm = 656cm 


SOLUTION 1 :

Remember:

1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm)

 Find out how many metres are in 656 centimetres.

 multiply:

6 x 100 = 600

 

6 m = 600 cm

 

Now add this to the centimetre you already have:

600 cm 56 cm = 600 cm + 56 cm

 656 cm = 600cm + 56 cm

 

 



9)  

 Convert. Write your answer as a decimal.

7 cm 9 mm = Answer: 7.9 cm


SOLUTION 1 :

1 centimetre (cm) = 10 millimetres (mm)

Convert the 9 millimetres to centimetres.

Divide:

9 ÷ 10 = 0.9

9 mm = 0.9 cm

Now add this to the 7 centimetres you already have:

7 cm 9 mm = 7 cm + 0.9 cm

7 cm 9 mm = 7.9 cm



10)  

 Convert. Write your answer as a decimal.

1.9 m = Answer: 1 m Answer: 90 cm 


SOLUTION 1 :

1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm)

 

Separate the whole number part and decimal part.

 

1.9 m = 1 m + 0.9 m

Convert the 0.9 metres to centimetres.

Multiply:

0.9 × 100 = 90

0.9 m = 90 cm

Now express the original measurement in metres and centimetres:

1.9 m = 1 m + 0.9 m

1.9 m = 1 m  90 cm
