Use the ratio 1 meter = 100 centimeters. A town gets 200 centimeters of snow one winter. How many meters of snow does it get?
To find the number of meters of snow the town gets, we need to convert the given amount of snow from centimeters to meters using the given ratio.
We have:
1 meter = 100 centimeters
To find the number of meters, we divide the number of centimeters by 100.
200 centimeters ÷ 100 = 2 meters
Therefore, the town gets 2 meters of snow.
Convert kilograms to pounds using the proportion 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds. How many kilograms are equal to 72 pounds? Round to the nearest tenth of a kilogram
To convert pounds to kilograms, we need to use the given proportion: 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds.
To find the number of kilograms, we divide the number of pounds by 2.2.
72 pounds ÷ 2.2 = 32.72727272727273 kilograms
Rounded to the nearest tenth of a kilogram, the equivalent amount is approximately 32.7 kilograms.
To convert centimeters to meters using the given ratio, we divide the number of centimeters by 100.
Given:
Ratio: 1 meter = 100 centimeters
Centimeters of snow: 200
1. Divide the number of centimeters by 100:
200 centimeters ÷ 100 = 2 meters
Therefore, the town gets 2 meters of snow.
To find out how many meters of snow the town gets, we need to convert the given measurement from centimeters to meters using the given ratio.
Given ratio: 1 meter = 100 centimeters
To convert 200 centimeters to meters, we divide the given value by the conversion factor:
200 centimeters / 100 centimeters = 2 meters
Therefore, the town gets 2 meters of snow.
