Question

Ms.William is knitting for her new born granddaughter. The blanket is 2.25 meters long and 1.8 meters wide.What is the area of the blanket ?Write an answer in centimeters

Answer 1

Since it says to convert meters to centimeters, multiply each measurement by 100. (1 m=100 cm)

2.25 x 100=225 cm

1.8 x 100=180 cm

Now, to find the area, multiply the length times the width.

225x180=40,500

The answer is 40,500 cm².
