Question

Nexus and Nellie participated in a slow cycling game. Nexus covered $0.01\text{Km}$ and Nellie covered $1,000\text{cm}$. covered more distance.

• A. Neither of the two
• B. Nexus
• C. Nellie

Answer 1

The correct option is A Neither of the two

We have to compare centimeter with kilometer.

Let's convert both centimeter and kilometer into the base unit, i.e., meter.

Kilometer to meter conversion

$1\text{kilometer}=1\times 1,000\text{meters}$
$\Rightarrow 0.01\text{kilometer}=0.01\times 1,000\text{meters}$
$\Rightarrow 0.01\text{kilometer}=10\text{meters}$

Centimeter to meter conversion

$1\text{centimeter}=\frac{1}{100}\text{meter}$
$\Rightarrow 1,000\text{centimeters}=\frac{1,000}{100}\text{meters}$
$\Rightarrow 1,000\text{centimeters}=10\text{meters}$

$\therefore 0.01\text{kilometer}=10\text{meters}=1,000\text{centimeters}$

Hence, both Nexus and Nellie covered same distance.
