Once there, you find that the dimension of the shelves you want is given in cm.If your space measured 0.9 m, and the shelves at the store measure 90 cm, answer the following questions:How many meters wide is the shelf you want to buy?

Answer 1

The width of the shelf you want to buy must be less or equal than the width of the small space. The width of the small space is 0.9m, therefore, the width of the shelf must be 0.9m or less.
