Question

Convertmeters (0.86) to dekameters (dmm).(b) Convert0.74 hectometers (hm) to meters (m).

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

Since we have 1 meter = 0.1 dekameter, we can apply the unit metho in order to obtain the conversion, as follows:

`?dm=0.86m*\frac{0.1\text{ dekameter}}{1\text{ meter}}=0.086\text{ dm}`

b) Applying the same reasoning than before, knowing that 1 hectometer=100m:

`?meters=0.74\text{ hectometers*}\frac{100\text{ meters}}{1\text{ hectometer}}=74\text{ meters}`

In conclusion, the solutions are:

a) 0.086 dekameters

b) 74 meters
