Question

Express $10m10cm$ as metre $\left(m\right)$ using decimals.

Answer 1

We know that, $1m=100cm$

We are going from smaller unit to greater unit. So, we will divide the smaller unit to get the bigger unit.

$$\begin{gathered} 10m10cm=10m+10cm \\ 10m10cm=10m+\frac{10}{100}m \\ 10m10cm=10m+0.10m \end{gathered}$$

Therefore $10m10cm=10.10m$.
