Question

Danita is working on a new sculpture. It will be 2 meters tall when she is finished. Will the sculpture fit in a room with a 300-centimeter high ceiling? Explain.​

Answer 1

yes; 2 m = 200 cm

Explanation:

The SI prefix "centi-" signifies 1/100. That is 300 cm = 300/100 m = 3 m.

If the ceiling is 3 meters high, a sculpture that is 2 meters tall will have no difficulty fitting into the room.
