Question

A cable is 8.9 m long. 10 decimeters =1 meter; therefore, how long this is in decimeters?

Answer 1

89 decimeters

Explanation:

8.9 m × 10 = 89 dm

Answer 2

89 decimeters I THINK...

Explanation:

1 m → 10 dm

8.9 m → L(dm)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in decimeters:

L(dm) = 8.9 m × 10 dm

L(dm) = 89 dm

The final result is:

8.9 m → 89 dm
