| 6) Convert. Write your answer as a decimal. 7 cm 9 mm = cm Answer:_______________ |
| 7) convert; 697cm = m cm Answer:_______________ |
| 8) convert; 8.2cm = cm mm Answer:_______________ |
| 9) Convert. Write your answer as a decimal. 5.6 m = m cm Answer:_______________ |
| 10) convert; m cm = 482cm Answer:_______________ |
| 1) Convert. Write your answer as a decimal. 5 cm 1 mm = Answer: 5.1 cm SOLUTION 1 : 1 centimetre (cm) = 10 millimetres (mm) Convert the 1 millimetres to centimetres. Divide: 1 ÷ 10 = 0.1 1 mm = 0.1 cm Now add this to the 5 centimetres you already have: 5 cm 1 mm = 5 cm + 0.1 cm 5 cm 1 mm = 5.1 cm |
| 2) 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
|
| 3) convert; 3.5cm = Answer: 3 cm Answer: 5 mm SOLUTION 1 : Remember: 1 centimetre (cm) = 10 millimetres (mm) Separate the whole number part and decimal part. 3.5 cm = 3 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: 3.5 cm = 3 cm + 0.5 cm 3.5 cm = 3 cm 5 mm |
| 4) Convert. Write your answer as a decimal. 5.3 m = Answer: 5 m Answer: 30 cm SOLUTION 1 : 1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm)
Separate the whole number part and decimal part.
5.3 m = 5 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: 5.3 m = 5 m + 0.3 m 5.3 m = 5 m 30 cm
|
| 5) convert; Answer: 1 m Answer: 84 cm = 184cm SOLUTION 1 : Remember: 1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm) Find out how many metres are in 184 centimetres. multiply: 1 x 100 = 100
1 m = 100 cm
Now add this to the centimetre you already have: 100 cm 84 cm = 100 cm + 84 cm  184 cm = 100cm + 84 cm
|
| 6) 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 |
| 7) convert; 697cm = Answer: 6 m Answer: 97 cm SOLUTION 1 : Remember: 1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm)
Find out how many metres are in 117 centimetres.
Divide: 697 ÷ 100 = 6 R 97 There is 6 metre, with 97 centimetres left over. 697 cm = 6 m 97 cm
|
| 8) convert; 8.2cm = Answer: 8 cm Answer: 2 mm SOLUTION 1 : Remember: 1 centimetre (cm) = 10 millimetres (mm) Separate the whole number part and decimal part. 8.2 cm = 8 cm + 0.2 cm Convert the 0.2 centimetres to millimetres. Multiply: 0.2 × 10 = 2 0.2 cm = 2 mm Now express the original measurement in centimetres and millimetres: 8.2 cm = 8 cm + 0.2 cm 8.2 cm = 8 cm 2 mm |
| 9) Convert. Write your answer as a decimal. 5.6 m = Answer: 5 m Answer: 60 cm SOLUTION 1 : 1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm)
Separate the whole number part and decimal part.
5.6 m = 5 m + 0.6 m Convert the 0.6 metres to centimetres. Multiply: 0.6 × 100 = 60 0.6 m = 60 cm Now express the original measurement in metres and centimetres: 5.6 m = 5 m + 0.6 m 5.6 m = 5 m 60 cm
|
| 10) convert; Answer: 4 m Answer: 82 cm = 482cm SOLUTION 1 : Remember: 1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm) Find out how many metres are in 482 centimetres. multiply: 4 x 100 = 400
4 m = 400 cm
Now add this to the centimetre you already have: 400 cm 82 cm = 400 cm + 82 cm  482 cm = 400cm + 82 cm
