Question

The height of a man is 1.7 meters.what is his height in centimeters

Answer 1

His height in centimeters is 170 cm

Further Explanation

Given:

Height is 1.7 meters (m). What is his height in centimeters?

We are going to convert meters (m) to centimeters (cm)

$=\boxed {1 m = 100cm\ }$

so to convert 1.7m to cm, just multiply it with 100 cm

$=\boxed {1.7 m \times100 cm\ }\\ =\boxed {170cm\ }$

there is another way to do it, in three step:

• write the conversion in fraction
• multiply
• cancel any units that are both top and bottom

$\frac{100 cm}{1m} = 1$

$=\boxed {1.7m \times\frac{100cm}{1m}\ }\\ =\boxed {\frac{1.7m \times\ 100 cm}{1 m}\ }\\ =\boxed {170 cm\ }$

We can cancel the meter (m) because it is both on top and the bottom
