Question

A plate moves 200 m in 10,000 years. What is its rate in cm/year?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

2 cm/year

Explanation:

To find the rate in cm/year we must first convert 200 m into cm

1 m = 100 cm

if 1 m = 100 cm

Then 200 m = 200 × 100 = 20 ,000 cm

So the rate is

$\frac{20000}{10000}$

Reduce the fraction with 10,000

We have the final answer as

2 cm/year

Hope this helps you
