thank you very much
You're welcome.
To order the lengths from least to greatest, we need to compare them using the same unit of measurement. In this case, we have lengths given in centimeters (cm), kilometers (km), meters (m), and decimeters (dm). To compare them, we need to convert all the lengths into the same unit — either cm, m, or km.
Let's convert each length to meters since it is a commonly used unit.
First, let's convert 31 kilometers to meters. There are 1,000 meters in one kilometer, so 31 kilometers is equal to 31,000 meters.
Next, we don't need to convert the length of 3 meters because it is already in meters.
Now, let's convert 35 decimeters to meters. There are 10 decimeters in one meter, so 35 decimeters is equal to 35/10 = 3.5 meters.
Lastly, let's convert 305 centimeters to meters. There are 100 centimeters in one meter, so 305 centimeters is equal to 305/100 = 3.05 meters.
Now that we have all the lengths in meters:
- 3m
- 3.05m
- 3.5m
- 31km (31,000m)
Arranging them from least to greatest:
3m, 3.05m, 3.5m, 31km
