Question

How do I convert 200 cm3 to dm3?

Donagan

Top Answerer

There are 1,000 cubic centimeters in one cubic decimeter. 200 cm³ is one-fifth of 1,000 cm³, so 200 cm³ is one-fifth of a cubic decimeter.

Question

Why does converting from meters to centimeters use a different exponent than converting from meters to millimeters?

Donagan

Top Answerer

There are no exponents in this calculation. You merely multiply the number of meters by 100 to get the number of centimeters, and multiply the number of meters by 1000 to get the number of millimeters. The difference stems from the fact that a centimeter is ten times the length of a millimeter.

Question

I want to know how many meters of fabric is required for a curtain (Length 335 cms and width is 240 cms)?

Donagan

Top Answerer

That depends on how much "gathering" you want. If you just want a flat curtain, you'll be covering an area of eight square meters, so you would divide eight square meters by the width of the roll of fabric (in meters). That would give you the total length of the roll of fabric you need (in meters). Allow 10% extra for seams, edges and waste. Any gathering would require additional fabric.

Question

Fiza's triangular field has 45 m, 60 m and 50 m sides. How much barred wire will be needed for fencing the field if he uses 3 lengths of wire along each side? How much will he have to pay for the wire?

Donagan

Top Answerer

The perimeter of the field is 45 + 60 + 50 = 155 m. Because three wires are being used around the field, he will need 155 x 3 = 465 m of wire (plus a little extra for connections). The cost of the wire will be 465 meters multiplied by the price of the wire per meter.
