Answer: Her height in centimeters will be 460 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Average height of a female giraffe = 4.6 meters
As we know that
[tex]1\text{ m}=100\text{ cm}[/tex]
So, we need to convert 4.6 meters into centimeters.
And we know that meters is more than centimeters so, we use the product operation.
[tex]4.6\times 100=460.0\text{ cm}=460\text{ cm}[/tex]
So, her height in centimeters will be 460 cm.
The average height of a female giraffe in centimetres is 460 cm.
Further explanation
Given:
The average height is 4.6 meters (m). What is its height in centimeters? So, in this problem, we are going to convert meters (m) to centimeters (cm)
As we know that : [tex]\boxed {1 m = 100 cm\ }[/tex]
so to convert meter to centimeter, just multiply it with 100 cm
[tex]\boxed {4.6 \times\ 100 cm = 460 cm\ }[/tex]
There is another way to do it, in three step:
- write the conversion in fraction
- multiply
- cancel any units that are both top and bottom
[tex]\boxed {\frac{100 cm}{1 m} = \frac{x cm}{4.6 m}\ }\\ \boxed {x =\frac{4.6 m \times\ 100cm}{1 m}\ }\\ \boxed {x=460 cm\ }[/tex]
We can cancel the meter (m) because it is both on top and the bottom
