Question

rewrite these in increasing order of length: 537 km, 790 dm, 41 cm, 8 mm, 788 m

Answer 1

The correct order is,

8mm, 41 cm, 790 dm, 788m, 537 km

Explanation:

It is given some measures of lengths

537 km, 790 dm, 41 cm, 8 mm, 788 m

Convert this into single unit

we can convert this into Meter

1). 537 km = 537000 m

2). 790 dm = 79 m

3). 41 cm = 0.41 m

4). 8 mm = 0.008 m

5). 788 m = 788 m

From this we get the correct order,

8mm, 41 cm, 790 dm, 788m, 537 km

Answer 2

Answer:
`8mm,\ 41cm,\ 790dm,\ 788m,\ 537km`

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must:

1. Write the lenghts given in the problem in the same units.

2. Let's convert all the units to meters. Then:

537 km to m:

`(537km)((1,000)/(1km))= 537,000m`

790 dm to m:

`(790dm)((1m)/(10dm))=79m`

41 cm to m:

`(41cm)((1m)/(100cm))=0.41m`

8 mm to m:

`(8mm)((1m)/(1,000mm))=8*10^(-3)m`

Now you rewrite them in increasing order:

`8mm,\ 41cm,\ 790dm,\ 788m,\ 537km`
