A student sets up the following equation to convert a measurement.
(The stands for a number the student is going to calculate.)
(0.020 N/cm) =? N/mm
Fill in the missing part of this equation.
(0.020 N/cm) = 0.20 N/mm
To convert N/cm to N/mm, you need to multiply by a conversion factor that will cancel out the cm and convert it to mm. To do this, you can use the fact that 1 cm is equal to 10 mm.
So, the missing part of the equation would be:
(0.020 N/cm) = (The number you are calculating) N/mm
To fill in the missing part, you need to multiply 0.020 N/cm by the conversion factor:
(0.020 N/cm) x (10 mm/cm) = (The number you are calculating) N/mm
Simplifying this equation gives:
0.200 N/mm = (The number you are calculating) N/mm
Therefore, the missing part of the equation is 0.200 N/mm.
