Exercise 6 Page 314

Identify the conversion factor between centimeters and meters to use an equivalent rate.

0.35 meters

Practice makes perfect
Let's identify the conversion rate between centimeters (cm) and meters (m). 100cm=1mThis means that the conversion factor between centimeters and meters can be expressed by the following fraction. 100cm/1m Now, we want convert 35 centimeters to meters. To do this, we can multiply both terms of the factor by 35 100 to write an equivalent rate. By doing that, we will end with 35 centimeters in the numerator. Let's do this!
100cm * 35 100/1m * 35 100
3500cm100/35m100
35cm/0.35m
We found that 35 centimeters is 0.35 meters.
