Question

The width of a standard racquetball court is 6. 1 meters. Convert the width tocentimeters.

Answer 1

Answer: The width of the racquetball court is 6.1 meters we have to convert it into centimeters, the simple method of converting units is to multiply by a conversion factor, which should cancel the old units, the conversion factor for m to cm is:

`(100cm)/(1m)`

Therefore, before we multiply the 6.1m by the conversion factor, we have to first convert it into a fraction:

`6.1=6(1)/(10)=(61)/(10)m`

The final step of the answer is as follows:

`\begin{gathered} (61)/(10)m*(100cm)/(1m)=610cm \\ \\ 6.1m=610cm \end{gathered}`

Therefore the answer is 6.1m = 610cm.
