Question

A piece of fabric measures 3.9 meters. Express this length in centimeters. Write an equation to show your answer. (ex. 1003 x 1000 = 1,003,000)

Answer 1

3.9 meter = 100*3.9 cm = 390 cm

Explanation:

we know that

1 meter = 100 cm

given that we have to show 3.9 meters in cm

1 meter = 100 cm

we multiply both sides by 3.9

1 * 3.9 meter = 100*3.9 cm = 390 cm

3.9 meters = 390 cm Answer

equation for transformation from meter to centimeter is

3.9*100 = 390
