Question

Using Decimal Notation Express In Metre :

$\text{5m 13cm}$

Answer 1

Given: $\text{5m 13cm}$

$$\begin{gathered} \text{1cm=}\frac{1}{100}\mathrm{m} \\ =0.01\mathrm{m} \end{gathered}$$

So, $$\begin{gathered} \text{5m 13cm =5m +}\frac{\text{13}}{100}\text{m} \\ =5\mathrm{m}+0.13\mathrm{m} \\ =5.13\mathrm{m} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $\text{5m 13cm = 5.13m}$
