Owen is 147.3 cm tall what is his height as a mixed number

147 3/10 cm

147 3/10

To find Owen's height as a mixed number, we need to convert 147.3 cm into a whole number and a fraction.

First, we know that 1 meter is equal to 100 cm. So we can divide 147.3 cm by 100 to get the meters and the remaining centimeters.

147.3 cm ÷ 100 cm/m = 1 m + 47.3 cm

Therefore, Owen's height can be expressed as 1 meter and 47.3 centimeters.

However, if we want to write it as a mixed number, we need to divide the centimeters by 10 (since 10 cm = 1 dm).

47.3 cm ÷ 10 cm/dm = 4.73 dm

Now, we have 1 meter and 4.73 decimeters.

To express this as a mixed number, we convert the decimeters into centimeters. Since 1 decimeter is equal to 10 centimeters:

4.73 dm × 10 cm/dm = 47.3 cm

So, Owen's height as a mixed number is 1 meter and 4.73 decimeters, which is equivalent to 1 meter and 47.3 centimeters.
