Question

Convert the following into metres and centimetres.
$673\text{cm}$

• A. $6\text{m}$ and $73\text{cm}$
• B. $7\text{m}$ and $73\text{cm}$
• C. $73\text{m}$ and $6\text{cm}$
• D. $673\text{m}$ and $0\text{cm}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

We know that

$1$ $\text{meter}=100$ $\text{cm}$

$1$ $\text{cm}=\frac{1}{100}$ $\text{m}$

$673$ $\text{cm}=\frac{1}{100}\times 673$ $\text{m}$

$=\frac{673}{100}$ $\text{m}$

$=6.73\text{m}$

It is equivalent to $6$ $\text{m}$ and $73$ $\text{cm}$

So, Option $\text{A}$ is correct
