1cm = 1/4 mm
1cm = 1/8 mm
Above are two different models of a microchip. If the model of the microchip on the left measures 6 cm tall, how tall is the model of the microchip on the right?
First, we need to convert the height of the microchip on the left from centimeters to millimeters using the first given conversion ratio.
6 cm = 6 * 1/4 mm = 6/4 mm = 1.5 mm
Now, we need to convert this height from millimeters to the units of the microchip on the right using the second given conversion ratio.
1.5 mm = 1.5 * 8 cm = 12 cm
Therefore, the model of the microchip on the right is 12 cm tall.
