B. 1.6km
C. 467mm​

Answer 1

Answers:

• A. 150 cm
• B. 160,000 cm
• C. 46.7 cm

===========================================

Work Shown:

`15 \text{ m} = (15 \text{ m})*\frac{100 \text{ cm}}{1 \text{ m}} = 1500 \text{ cm}\\\\\\1.6 \text{ km} = (1.6 \text{ km})*\frac{1000 \text{ m}}{1 \text{ km}}*\frac{100 \text{ cm}}{1 \text{ m}} = 160,000 \text{ cm}\\\\\\467 \text{ mm} = (467 \text{ mm})*\frac{1 \text{ cm}}{10 \text{ mm}} = 46.7 \text{ cm}`

Each conversion fraction is set up to cancel out any unit that isn't "centimeters".

Side notes:

• 1 m = 100 cm
• 1 km = 1000 m
• 1 cm = 10 mm
