Question

Tia had a garden that was 2 meters long. Her brother used 458 millimeters of the length at one end as a worm farm

How long is the part of the garden Tia can use for plants now?
1,542 centimeters
154 centimeters
1.642 centimeters
2.542 centimeters

Answer 1

Answer would be 154 cm

Answer 2

154 centimeters

Explanation:

Each meter is 1000 millimeters or 100 centimeters, and if Tia's brother used 458 millimeters of 2000 millimeters, you can subtract 458 from 200 and you get 1542. Since the answer options are in centimeters, simply divide by 10 and you get the answer in centimeter form (154)
