Question

Express $\mathit{462}\mathit{.}\mathit{7}\mathit{}m$ without decimals

Answer 1

Step 1

Break into whole number part and decimal part

$462.7m=462m+0.7m$

Step 2

Convert decimal part into cm

We know that

$$\begin{gathered} 1m=100cm \\ \Rightarrow 0.7m=0.7\times 100=70cm \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $462.7m$ can be written as $462m$$70cm$.
