A king snake is 31/50 m long. What is an equivalent length of this king snake in meters?
A. 0.31 m
B. 3 1/50 m
C. 0.062 m
D. Not Here
get out your calculator and do the division!
Or, note that 31/100 = 0.31
This is twice that much, since we're dividing by 50, which is only half as big.
okay thanks!
thanks bae
To find an equivalent length of the king snake in meters, you can convert the given length from a fraction to a decimal. Here's how you can do it:
1. Divide the numerator (31) by the denominator (50) to get the decimal representation:
31 ÷ 50 = 0.62
2. The decimal representation 0.62 means that the king snake is 0.62 meters long.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
C. 0.062 m (Note that this option seems to have the decimal point in the wrong place. It should be 0.62 m)
Alternatively, you can multiply the numerator by 0.01 (to convert it to meters) and then divide by the denominator:
31 × 0.01 ÷ 50 = 0.62
Again, the correct answer is 0.062 m, or 0.62 m if the decimal point in option C is corrected.
