Question

what is the approximate diameter of a dinner plate?
○ 2.5 m
○ 0.025 m
○ 0.0025 m
○ 0.25 m

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the options

We know that 1 meter = 100 centimeters. Let's convert each option to centimeters to better understand the size:

• \(2.5\space m = 2.5\times100 = 250\space cm\) (way too big for a dinner plate)
• \(0.025\space m = 0.025\times100 = 2.5\space cm\) (way too small)
• \(0.0025\space m = 0.0025\times100 = 0.25\space cm\) (extremely small)
• \(0.25\space m = 0.25\times100 = 25\space cm\) (a reasonable size for a dinner plate)

Answer:

0.25 m
