Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Jamal is 167 cm tall.

we are asked to find:

Which expression finds Jamal’s height in dekameters.

We will use the metric conversion for converting the unit centimeters to dekameters.

We know that 1 centimeter is equal to 0.001 dekameter.

i.e. 1 cm =0.001 dam.

Hence, the value of 167 cm is calculated as:

$167cm=167\times 0.001 dam\\\\167 cm=0.167dam$

Hence, the height of Jamal in dekameters is:

0.167 dam

Answer 2

We know that
1 cm is equal to -----------> 0.001 dekameters
so
167 cm------------------> X
x=167*0.001------> x=0.167 dekameters

Expression to finds Jamal’s height in dekameters
[Jamal’s height in cm]*0.001  or [Jamal’s height in cm]/1000
