A paperback is 106mm in width. What is the width in centimeters? In meters?
(I need to see this in steps)
learn to convert like a physicist (not math way)
106 mm * ( 1) does not change anything
BUT
I claim that 10 millimeters /1 centimeter)
is ONE, because it is the same top and bottom
so what I do is:
106 mm (1 cm/10 mm) = 10.6 cm
mm cancel and left with cm
and
106 mm (1 m/1000 mm) = 0.106 m
again mm cancel, left with m
To convert the width of a paperback from millimeters to centimeters, you need to divide the measurement by 10 because there are 10 millimeters in a centimeter.
Step 1: Divide the width of the paperback (106mm) by 10.
106mm ÷ 10 = 10.6cm
Therefore, the width of the paperback is 10.6 centimeters.
To convert the width from centimeters to meters, you need to divide the measurement by 100 because there are 100 centimeters in a meter.
Step 2: Divide the width of the paperback (10.6cm) by 100.
10.6cm ÷ 100 = 0.106m
Therefore, the width of the paperback is 0.106 meters.
To convert the width of a paperback book from millimeters to centimeters and meters, you can use the following conversion factors:
1 centimeter = 10 millimeters
1 meter = 100 centimeters
Step 1: Convert millimeters to centimeters
Since 1 centimeter is equal to 10 millimeters, divide the width of the paperback book by 10 to convert it to centimeters.
Width in centimeters = 106 mm / 10 = 10.6 cm
Step 2: Convert centimeters to meters
Since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, divide the width of the paperback book in centimeters by 100 to convert it to meters.
Width in meters = 10.6 cm / 100 = 0.106 m
Therefore, the width of the paperback book is 10.6 centimeters and 0.106 meters.
