Question

The length of the bridge is 320 cm. If 1 meter represents 60cm, what is the length of the bridge?

Answer 1

5.33m

Explanation:

The following were obtained from the question:

Length of the bridge(in cm) = 320 cm

But we were told from the question, that: 60cm = 1m

320cm = 320/60 = 5.33m

Therefore, the length of the bridge(in m) = 5.33m

Answer 2

The bridge is 5.33 m

Explanation:

Step 1:

Given that 1 m represents 60 cm, find length of the bridge in m.

1 m ⇒ 60 cm

∴ 1 cm = 1/60 m

⇒ 320 cm = 320 × 1/60 = 5.33 m
