| 2) convert; 946cm = m cm Answer:_______________ |
| 3) Convert. Write your answer as a decimal. 6 cm 8 mm = cm Answer:_______________ |
| 4) convert; m cm = 235cm Answer:_______________ |
| 5) convert; 8.8cm = cm mm Answer:_______________ |
| 6) Convert. Write your answer as a decimal. 1.5 m = m cm Answer:_______________ |
| 7) convert; 185cm = m cm Answer:_______________ |
| 8) Convert. Write your answer as a decimal. 8 cm 2 mm = cm Answer:_______________ |
| 9) convert; m cm = 432cm Answer:_______________ |
| 10) convert; 3.4cm = cm mm Answer:_______________ |
| 1) Convert. Write your answer as a decimal. 8.4 m = Answer: 8 m Answer: 40 cm SOLUTION 1 : 1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm)
Separate the whole number part and decimal part.
8.4 m = 8 m + 0.4 m Convert the 0.4 metres to centimetres. Multiply: 0.4 × 100 = 40 0.4 m = 40 cm Now express the original measurement in metres and centimetres: 8.4 m = 8 m + 0.4 m 8.4 m = 8 m 40 cm
|
| 2) convert; 946cm = Answer: 9 m Answer: 46 cm SOLUTION 1 : Remember: 1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm)
Find out how many metres are in 117 centimetres.
Divide: 946 ÷ 100 = 9 R 46 There is 9 metre, with 46 centimetres left over. 946 cm = 9 m 46 cm
|
| 3) Convert. Write your answer as a decimal. 6 cm 8 mm = Answer: 6.8 cm SOLUTION 1 : 1 centimetre (cm) = 10 millimetres (mm) Convert the 8 millimetres to centimetres. Divide: 8 ÷ 10 = 0.8 8 mm = 0.8 cm Now add this to the 6 centimetres you already have: 6 cm 8 mm = 6 cm + 0.8 cm 6 cm 8 mm = 6.8 cm |
| 4) convert; Answer: 2 m Answer: 35 cm = 235cm SOLUTION 1 : Remember: 1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm) Find out how many metres are in 235 centimetres. multiply: 2 x 100 = 200
2 m = 200 cm
Now add this to the centimetre you already have: 200 cm 35 cm = 200 cm + 35 cm  235 cm = 200cm + 35 cm
|
| 5) convert; 8.8cm = Answer: 8 cm Answer: 8 mm SOLUTION 1 : Remember: 1 centimetre (cm) = 10 millimetres (mm) Separate the whole number part and decimal part. 8.8 cm = 8 cm + 0.8 cm Convert the 0.8 centimetres to millimetres. Multiply: 0.8 × 10 = 8 0.8 cm = 8 mm Now express the original measurement in centimetres and millimetres: 8.8 cm = 8 cm + 0.8 cm 8.8 cm = 8 cm 8 mm |
| 6) Convert. Write your answer as a decimal. 1.5 m = Answer: 1 m Answer: 50 cm SOLUTION 1 : 1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm)
Separate the whole number part and decimal part.
1.5 m = 1 m + 0.5 m Convert the 0.5 metres to centimetres. Multiply: 0.5 × 100 = 50 0.5 m = 50 cm Now express the original measurement in metres and centimetres: 1.5 m = 1 m + 0.5 m 1.5 m = 1 m 50 cm
|
| 7) convert; 185cm = Answer: 1 m Answer: 85 cm SOLUTION 1 : Remember: 1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm)
Find out how many metres are in 117 centimetres.
Divide: 185 ÷ 100 = 1 R 85 There is 1 metre, with 85 centimetres left over. 185 cm = 1 m 85 cm
|
| 8) Convert. Write your answer as a decimal. 8 cm 2 mm = Answer: 8.2 cm SOLUTION 1 : 1 centimetre (cm) = 10 millimetres (mm) Convert the 2 millimetres to centimetres. Divide: 2 ÷ 10 = 0.2 2 mm = 0.2 cm Now add this to the 8 centimetres you already have: 8 cm 2 mm = 8 cm + 0.2 cm 8 cm 2 mm = 8.2 cm |
| 9) convert; Answer: 4 m Answer: 32 cm = 432cm SOLUTION 1 : Remember: 1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm) Find out how many metres are in 432 centimetres. multiply: 4 x 100 = 400
4 m = 400 cm
Now add this to the centimetre you already have: 400 cm 32 cm = 400 cm + 32 cm  432 cm = 400cm + 32 cm
|
| 10) convert; 3.4cm = Answer: 3 cm Answer: 4 mm SOLUTION 1 : Remember: 1 centimetre (cm) = 10 millimetres (mm) Separate the whole number part and decimal part. 3.4 cm = 3 cm + 0.4 cm Convert the 0.4 centimetres to millimetres. Multiply: 0.4 × 10 = 4 0.4 cm = 4 mm Now express the original measurement in centimetres and millimetres: 3.4 cm = 3 cm + 0.4 cm 3.4 cm = 3 cm 4 mm |
