Question

Riya is applaying mulch to her garden. She applies it at a rate of 250,000 cm3 of mulch for every m2 of garden space. at what rate is riya applying mulch in m3/m2?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.25 $\frac{m^{3} }{m^{2} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you need to convert the cm^3 into m^3 then you start off by multiplying $\frac{250,000 cm^{3} }{m^{2} }$ to a fraction that represents m^3 over cm^3.

Like this:

$\frac{250,000 cm^{3} }{m^{2} }$  ×  $\frac{m^{3} }{1,000,000cm^{3} }$

Because cm^3 is divided by itself in the equation you cancel them both out and then your left with:

$\frac{250,000m^{3} }{1,000,000m^{2} }$

And when then you divide 250,000 by 1,000,000 and you get 0.25 $\frac{m^{3} }{m^{2} }$ which is your answer.

Answer 2

For this case the first thing you should do is take into account the following conversion:

$1m = 100cm$

Therefore, by applying the conversion we have:

$(250,000\frac{cm^3}{m^2})((\frac{1}{100})^3\frac{m^3}{cm^3})$

Rewriting we have:

$(250,000\frac{cm^3}{m^2})(\frac{1}{100^3}\frac{m^3}{cm^3})$

$(250,000\frac{cm^3}{m^2})(\frac{1}{1,000,000}\frac{m^3}{cm^3}) = 0.25\frac{m^3}{m^2}$

Answer:

The rate in m^3/m^2 is:

$0.25\frac{m^3}{m^2}$
