Question

rewrite these in increasing order of length: 537 km, 790 dm, 41 cm, 8 mm, 788 m

Answer 1

Answer: $8mm,\ 41cm,\ 790dm,\ 788m,\ 537km$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must:

1. Write the lenghts given in the problem in the same units.

2. Let's convert all the units to meters. Then:

537 km to m:

$(537km)(\frac{1,000}{1km})= 537,000m$

790 dm to m:

$(790dm)(\frac{1m}{10dm})=79m$

41 cm to m:

$(41cm)(\frac{1m}{100cm})=0.41m$

8 mm to m:

$(8mm)(\frac{1m}{1,000mm})=8*10^{-3}m$

Now you rewrite them in increasing order:

$8mm,\ 41cm,\ 790dm,\ 788m,\ 537km$

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct order is,

8mm, 41 cm, 790 dm, 788m, 537 km

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given some measures of lengths

537 km, 790 dm, 41 cm, 8 mm, 788 m

Convert this into single unit

we can convert this into Meter

1). 537 km = 537000 m

2). 790 dm = 79 m

3). 41 cm = 0.41 m

4). 8 mm = 0.008 m

5). 788 m = 788 m

From this we get the correct order,

8mm, 41 cm, 790 dm, 788m, 537 km
