Question

Coral beef grew 19.5 mm taller. how much did it grow in meters?

Answer 1

1 meter = 1,000 millimeter

We can solve this by making two proportion or millimeter over meter:
`(millimeter)/(meter)`

`(19.5 mm)/(x meter) = (1,000 mm)/(1 m)`

Now you must solve for the unknown meter under the first proportion:

(1,000)(x meter) = 19.5 * 1

1,000(x meter) = 19.5

x meter = 0.0195 m

19.5 mm = 0.0195 m

Hope this helped! Let me know if you have any further questions
