Sagot :

Answer:

5/16m long.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 5/8  ÷  2/1
  • 5/8  ×  1/2
  •    =5/16m long.

Answer:  5/16 of a meter

In decimal form, this is 0.3125 meters.

This is equivalent to 31.25 cm and 312.5 mm

==================================================

Explanation:

The wire is 5/8 of a meter long. Dividing it into two equal parts means we divide by 2, or multiply by 1/2.

(1/2)*(5/8) = (1*5)/(2*8) = 5/16

Each piece is 5/16 of a meter long, which converts to the decimal form 0.3125 after using a calculator or long division.

------------

To convert from meters to cm, multiply by 100

0.3125 m = 100*0.3125 = 31.25 cm

To convert from meters to mm, multiply by 1000

0.3125 m = 1000*0.3125 = 312.5 mm
