Question

How many decimeters is a 3.5 mm long insect?

a) 0.035 dm
b) 0.35 dm
c) 3.5 dm
d) 35 dm

Answer 1

To convert millimeters to decimeters, divide the length in millimeters by 10. So, a 3.5 mm long insect is equal to 0.35 decimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert millimeters (mm) to decimeters (dm), we need to divide the length in millimeters by 10. So, to find how many decimeters a 3.5 mm long insect is, we divide 3.5 mm by 10.

3.5 mm ÷ 10 = 0.35 dm

Therefore, a 3.5 mm long insect is equal to 0.35 decimeters.
