Express the following as cm using decimals.
(a) 2 mm
(b) 30 mm
(c) 116 mm
(d) 4 cm 2 mm
(e) 162 mm
(f) 83 mm
Solution:
We use the concepts of fractions, decimals and unit conversion to express the given numbers as cm using decimals.
As we know 10 mm is equal to 1 cm, hence, we can convert the given values as:
| 
			 Measurements (Given)  | 
			
			 Measurements (in cm)  | 
		
| 
			 2 mm  | 
			
			 2/10 cm = 0.2 cm  | 
		
| 
			 30 mm  | 
			
			 30/10 cm = 3.0 cm  | 
		
| 
			 116 mm  | 
			
			 116/10 cm = 11.6 cm  | 
		
| 
			 4 cm 2 mm  | 
			
			 4 cm + 2mm = (4 + 2/10) cm = 4.2 cm  | 
		
| 
			 162 mm  | 
			
			 162/10 cm = 16.2 cm  | 
		
| 
			 83 mm  | 
			
			 83/10 cm = 8.3 cm  |
