Answer to Problem 55P

The result is 430mm = 43cm

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $\_mm=43cm$

Calculation:

The given units are customary units of lengths. For conversion, please refer to conversion table given in book reproduced here.

Unit 1	Unit 2
1 centimeter (cm)	10 millimeter (mm)
1 meter (m)	100 centimeter (cm)
1 kilometer (km)	1000 meter (m)

Since, 1 centimeter has 10 millimeters. To find millimeters in 43 cm, we must scale up millimetersin centimeter by 43. In other words, multiply conversion factor (10) by actual centimeters to be converted.

So,

  $\begin{array}{l}43cm=43\times 10mm\\ =430mm\end{array}$

Therefore, $430mm=43cm$

Conclusion:

Therefore, the result is 430mm = 43cm
