Question

topic : metric system
10 M : ?
10dcm : 1 m​

Answer 1

Answer:

The equivalent of 10 m is 100 dcm

Explanation:

This question is Mathematics not Health; however, the solution is as follows

Given

10 dcm = 1 m

Required

Find the equivalent of 10 m

Note that: dcm represents decimetre and m represents metres

Let x represents the equivalent of 10 metres in decimetres

Provided that

$1 m = 10 dcm$

$10 m = x$

Using cross multiplication:

$x\ dcm * 1\ m = 10\ dcm * 10\ m$

Divide both sides by 1 m

$\frac{x\ *\ 1\ m}{1\ m} = \frac{10\ dcm * 10\ m}{1\ m}$

$x = \frac{10\ dcm * 10\ m}{1\ m}$

$x\ = 10dcm * 10$

$x\ = 100\ dcm$

Hence, the equivalent of 10 m is 100 dcm
