Which Direction Does the Decimal Move? (L or R)
my answers
30. From centimeters to meters? left
31. From megameters to meters? right
32. From kilometers to millimeters? left
33. From micrometers to millimeters? right
34. From millimeters to kilometers? right
How Far and What Direction Does the Decimal Move?
my answers:
36. From meters to centimeters?.... 3 spaces right
37. From micrometers to millimeter? 5 spaces left
38. From centimeters to kilometers? 12 spaces left
39. From micrometers to megameters? 12 spaces left
40. From kilometers to centimeters? 5 spaces right
49. To change from centimeters to meters, 2 spaces left
how do you move the decimal?
51. To change from liters to milliliters, 3 spaces right
53. To change from megameters to meter, 6 spaces right
how do you move the decimal?
kilometer---km
hectometer--hm
dekameter---dam or dkm or Dm
meter---m
decimeter---dm
centimeter---cm
millimeter----mm
These seven (7) differ from each by 10.
For example, 1 km = 10 hm = 100 dkm = 1000 m = 10,000 dm = 100,000 cm = 1,000,000 mm. Just remember this about the decimal point.
Moving from top to bottom you move the decimal point to the right. Moving from bottom to top you move the decimal point to the left. How many places? Just count the number of units you move. That is, going from mm to m you move to the left (going UP) and you count 1 to get to cm, another 1 to get to dm and another 1 to get to m. That's 3 places so 1 mm = 0.001 m.
For the measurements outside what I wrote above; i.e., mega is above kilo by 3 places. micro is below milli by 3 places
You got the directions right, but
36,49 are inconsistent
37: micro to milli is 3 spaces
38,39 are inconsistent
Yes, I can check your work. Here is the correct answer for each question:
30. From centimeters to meters? → 2 spaces left (divide by 100)
31. From megameters to meters? → 6 spaces right (multiply by 1000000)
32. From kilometers to millimeters? → 3 spaces left (multiply by 1000)
33. From micrometers to millimeters? → 3 spaces right (divide by 1000)
34. From millimeters to kilometers? → 4 spaces right (divide by 1000)
36. From meters to centimeters? → 2 spaces right (multiply by 100)
37. From micrometers to millimeter? → 3 spaces left (divide by 1000)
38. From centimeters to kilometers? → 5 spaces left (divide by 100000)
39. From micrometers to megameters? → 9 spaces left (divide by 1000000000)
40. From kilometers to centimeters? → 5 spaces right (multiply by 100000)
49. To change from centimeters to meters, how do you move the decimal? → 2 spaces left (divide by 100)
51. To change from liters to milliliters, how do you move the decimal? → 3 spaces right (multiply by 1000)
53. To change from megameters to meter, how do you move the decimal? → 6 spaces right (multiply by 1000000)
