Question

Suzanne purchased tiles for her patio that are 8" and 4" . She measured her patio in metres and wants to convert the tile dimensions to SI units. What are the dimensions of tiles in centimetres

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2 m, 0.1 m

20 cm, 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

as we know that

40 inch = 1 metre

So 1 inch = 1 /40 metre

So, the length of the tile = 8 inch = 8 / 40 metre = 0.2 metre

width of the tile = 4 inch = 4 / 40 = 0.1 metre

Now

1 metre = 100 cm

So, length of the tile = 0.2 m = 0.2 x 100 = 20 cm

width of the tile = 0.1 m = 0.1 x 100 = 10 cm
