How many 22 cenimeter oieces of string can be cut from a 4.2 meter piece of string? How many centimeters are left over?
Convert 4.2meters into centimeters, then try dividing 22 centimeters into that number
how
here's a conversion chart that should help you:
x1000 x100 x10
km---->m---->cm----mm
km<----m<----cm<----mm
/1000 /100 /10
*note: / means divide
ok, so in your case to convert 4.2meters into cm's you times that number by 100
hope this helps!
19.09
To convert 4.2 meters into centimeters, you need to multiply that number by 100.
4.2 meters * 100 cm/meter = 420 centimeters
Now that we have converted 4.2 meters to centimeters, we can proceed to divide 420 centimeters by 22 centimeters to find out how many 22 centimeter pieces of string can be cut from the 4.2 meter piece of string.
420 centimeters / 22 centimeters = 19.09
Therefore, you can cut 19 pieces of 22 centimeters from the 4.2 meter piece of string.
To calculate the amount of centimeters left over, you can use the modulo operator (%).
420 centimeters % 22 centimeters = 16 centimeters
So, there will be 16 centimeters left over.
