Question

Rachel has a bag of fruit that has a mass of 50 hectograms. Rachel converts this mass to centigrams. Her work is shown below.

Answer 1

Answer:

She should have multiplied by 10,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given table:

$\begin{array}{| c | c |}\cline{1-2} \sf kilo & 1,000 \\\cline{1-2} \sf hecto & 100 \\\cline{1-2} \sf deka & 10 \\\cline{1-2} \sf unit & 1 \\\cline{1-2} \sf deci & 0.1 \\\cline{1-2} \sf centi & 0.01 \\\cline{1-2} \sf milli & 0.001 \\\cline{1-2}\end{array}$

To find the conversion rate:

$\sf \dfrac{hecto}{centi}=\dfrac{100}{0.01}=10000$

Therefore, 1 hectogram = 10,000 centigrams

So when converting hectograms to centigrams, multiply the mass by 10,000.

⇒ 50 hg × 10,000 = 500,000 centigrams

Rachel's error was that she should have multiplied by 10,000.
