At soap and suds there are 16 washing machines in a single row with no space between each one.Each washing machine is 75cm across.Wht is the total length of the 16 washing machines in centimeters and meters?
16 * 75 = ??? cm
divide cm by 100 to get meters
To find the total length of the 16 washing machines, you can multiply the width of a single washing machine by the number of machines.
Given that each washing machine is 75 cm across and there are 16 of them, to find the total length in centimeters, you can use the following formula:
Total length (cm) = Width of a single machine (cm) x Number of machines
Plugging in the values, we get:
Total length (cm) = 75 cm x 16 = 1200 cm
Therefore, the total length of the 16 washing machines in centimeters is 1200 cm.
To convert this length into meters, you need to divide the length in centimeters by 100, as there are 100 centimeters in a meter.
Total length (m) = Total length (cm) / 100
Plugging in the value, we get:
Total length (m) = 1200 cm / 100 = 12 meters
Therefore, the total length of the 16 washing machines in meters is 12 meters.
