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.
