Question
John has a 1.2-meter long piece of wood He wants to cut it into three equal pieces. The length of each piece in millimeters is___________.
- 120
- 60
- 30
- 40
Hint:
Converting meters into centimeters
1m = 100cm
converting centimeters into millimeters
1cm =10mm
Dividing the wood into 3 equal part
The correct answer is: 40
We know, 1m = 1000mm
1.2m = 1000 × 1.2
= 1200mm
As he wants to cut it into 3 equal parts, then the length of each piece is 1200/3=400mm
Divide the wood into 3 equal parts and then convert meters into millimeters
