Question

On a map the perimeter of the is 0.251 meters. The actual perimeters of the park is 1,000 times as large. What is the actual perimeter of the park. Explain how you know using place value chart

Answer 1

The actual perimeter of the park is $\boxed{\bf251{\text{ meters}}}$.

Further explanation:

Given:

The perimeter of the park is on a map $0.251{\text{ meters}}$. The measured perimeter of the park is 1000 times as large.  

Calculation:

The distance of the closed figure is called as the perimeter.

The perimeter of the attached Figure 1 can be calculated as,

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Perimeter}}&=a+a+b+b\\&=2\left({a+b}\right)\\\end{aligned}$

Here, $x,y{\text{ and }}z$ is the length of the shape.

From place value chart, 10 tens is equal to 1 hundreds.

Tenths are one place after the decimal and hundredths are two places after the decimal.

Two tenths can be written in the form of decimal as follows:

$\dfrac{2}{{10}}=0.2$

Five hundredths can be written in the form of decimal as follows:

$\dfrac{5}{{100}}=0.05$

One thousandths can be written in the form of decimal as follows:

$\dfrac{1}{{1000}}=0.001$

Therefore, the number 0.251 can be written as,

$\begin{aligned}0.251&=\frac{2}{{10}}+\frac{5}{{100}}+\frac{1}{{1000}}\\&=0.2+0.05+0.001\\&=0.251\\\end{aligned}$

On the map the perimeter of the park is $0.251{\text{ meters}}$.

Let ${\text{P}}$ be the actual perimeter of the park.

The actual perimeter of the park can be calculated as follows,

$\begin{aligned}{\text{P}}&=0.251\times1000\\&=251{\text{ meters}}\\\end{aligned}$

Thus, the actual perimeter of the park is $\boxed{\bf251{\text{ meters}}}$.
