Chapter 28, Problem 1A

To determine

To express $42792.6\text{millimeters}$ as meters

Answer to Problem 1A

  $42792.6\text{millimeters}$ is expressed as $42.7926\text{m}$.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

Given, $42792.6\text{millimeters}$

Calculation:

To express a unit in one system as an equivalent unit in the other system, either use unity fractions or multiply the given measurements by the appropriate conversion factor in the metric-Customary Linear Equivalent Table

As we know that,

  $1\text{ meter (m) = 1000 millimeter (mm)}$

Converting $42792.6\text{millimeters}$ to meter by multiplying it with the unit fraction,

  $\Rightarrow 42792.6\text{mm}\times \frac{1\text{m}}{1000\text{mm}}=42.7926\text{m}$

Hence, $42792.6\text{millimeters}$ is expressed as $42.7926\text{m}$.
