Question

How many decimeters are in 3.5 dekameters? Use the metric table to help answer the question.

Answer 1

350 decimeters are there in 3.5 decameter

Solution:

We have to find the decimeters in 3.5 decameters

Use the metric table:

1 kilometre (km) = 10 Hectometres (hm) = 1000 m

1 Hectometre (hm) = 10 Decametres (dcm) = 100 m

1 Decametre (dcm) = 10 Metres (m)

1 Metre (m) = 10 Decimetres (dm) = 100 cm = 1000 mm

1 Decimetre (dm) = 10 Centimetres (cm)

1 decimeter = 0.1 meter

1 Centimetre (cm) = 10 Millimetres (mm)

1 centimeter = 0.01 meter

1 millimeter = 0.001 meter

From above metric table, we find that

100 decimeter = 1 decameter

Then, convert 3.5 decameter to decimeter

100 x 3.5 decimeter = 3.5 x 1 decameter

350 decimeter = 3.5 decameter

Thus 350 decimeters are there in 3.5 decameter
