SOLUTION 1 :

Convert the 8 metres to centimetres.

Multiply:

8 × 100 =800

Now add this to the 51 centimetres you already have:

8 m 51 cm = 800 cm + 51 cm

8 m 51 cm = 851 cm



2)  

 Convert:

31 mm = Answer: 3  cm Answer: 1 mm



SOLUTION 1 :

Find out how many centimetres are in 31 millimetres.

Divide:

31 ÷ 10 = 3 R 1

There are 31 centimetres, with 1 millimetres left over.

31 mm = 3 cm 1 mm



3)  

 convert:

2 m 54 cm  = Answer: 254 cm



SOLUTION 1 :

Convert the 2 metres to centimetres.

Multiply:

2 × 100 =200

2 m 54 cm = 200 cm + 54 cm

2 m 54 cm = 254 cm



4)  

 Convert:

55 mm = Answer: 5  cm Answer: 5 mm



SOLUTION 1 :

Find out how many centimetres are in 55 millimetres.

Divide:

55 ÷ 10 = 5 R 5

There are 55 centimetres, with 5 millimetres left over.

55 mm = 5 cm 5 mm



5)  

 convert:

6 m 43 cm  = Answer: 643 cm



SOLUTION 1 :

Convert the 6 metres to centimetres.

Multiply:

6 × 100 =600

6 m 43 cm = 643 cm



6)  

 Convert:

24 mm = Answer: 2  cm Answer: 4 mm



SOLUTION 1 :

Find out how many centimetres are in 24 millimetres.

Divide:

There are 24 centimetres, with 4 millimetres left over.

24 mm = 2 cm 4 mm



7)  

 convert:

1 m 59 cm  = Answer: 159 cm



SOLUTION 1 :

Convert the 1 metres to centimetres.

Multiply:

1 × 100 =100

Now add this to the 59 centimetres you already have:

1 m 59 cm = 100 cm + 59 cm

1 m 59 cm = 159 cm



8)  

 Convert:

48 mm = Answer: 4  cm Answer: 8 mm



SOLUTION 1 :

Find out how many centimetres are in 48 millimetres.

Divide:

48 ÷ 10 = 4 R 8
