Question

55 m + 120 cm = _____ m (note :100 cm in 1 m)
how many meters is that?

Answer 1

The sum of 55 meters and 120 centimeters is 56.2 meters, after converting centimeters to meters by dividing by 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 120 centimeters to meters, we divide by 100, since there are 100 cm in 1 m:

• 120 cm ÷ 100 = 1.2 m

Now, we can add this to 55 meters:

• 55 m + 1.2 m = 56.2 meters

The sum of 55 meters and 120 centimeters is 56.2 meters.

To convert 120 cm to meters, we divide by the conversion factor of 100 cm in 1 m.

So, 120 cm / 100 cm = 1.2 m

Then, we add this value to 55 m.

55 m + 1.2 m = 56.2 m
