Question

A medical technician measures the length of a tropical parasite insect. The length is 93 mm . What is the length in centimeters? Write your answer as a decimal.

Answer 1

Answer: The length of the tropical parasite insect in centimeters is 9.3 cm.

Explanation: We are given the length of the parasite insect in milimeters and we need to convert it into centimeters. So, for that we use the conversion:

1 centimeter = 10 milimeter

Converting 93 mm to centimeters, we divide the number by 10, we get:

`93mm=(93)/(10)cm=9.3cm`

Hence, the length of the parasite insect in centimeters is 9.3 cm
