Question

A student sets up the following equation to convert a measurement. (The ? stands for a number the student is going to calculate.) Fill in the missing part of this equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

1 cm/s

Explanation:

From the question given above,

the student is trying to convert 0.010 m/s to a number in cm/s.

Thus, we can convert 0.010 m/s to cm/s as illustrated below:

Recall:

1 m/s = 100 cm/s

Therefore,

0.010 m/s = 0.010 m/s × 100 cm/s ÷ 1 m/s

0.010 m/s = 1 cm/s

Therefore, 0.010 m/s is equivalent to 1 cm/s
