Question 85

Question. 85

Convert 1537 cm to m and express the result as an improper fraction.

Answer:

\(\dfrac{1537}{100}\,\text{m}\)

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Step 1: Remember the conversion rule.

\(1\,\text{m} = 100\,\text{cm}\)

So, \(1\,\text{cm} = \dfrac{1}{100}\,\text{m}\).

Step 2: Change 1537 cm into metres using the rule above.

\(1537\,\text{cm} = 1537 \times \dfrac{1}{100}\,\text{m}\)

Step 3: Write it as a fraction.

\(1537\,\text{cm} = \dfrac{1537}{100}\,\text{m}\)

Note: This is an improper fraction (numerator > denominator) and it cannot be simplified further.
