Answer to Problem 53P

The result is 6.2m=620cm

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $\_m=620cm$

Calculation:

The given units are customary units of lengths. For conversion please refer to conversion table given in book, reproduce here.

Unit 1	Unit 2
1 centimeter (cm)	10 millimeter (mm)
1 meter (m)	100 centimeter (cm)
1 kilometer (km)	1000 meter (m)

Since, 1m = 100cm, to get meters in 620 centimeters, must find how many 100 centimeters are in 620 centimeters.

Thus, divide 620 by 100

Hence,

  $\begin{array}{l}620cm=(620÷100)m\\ or\\ 620cm=6.2m\end{array}$

Therefore, $6.2m=620cm$

Conclusion:

Therefore, the result is 6.2m=620cm
