Question

a patient is 167 cm tall. how tall is the patient in meters? a) 0.0167 m b) 0.167 m c) 1.67 m d) 16.7 m

Explanation:

Step1: Recall unit conversion (cm to m)

We know that \( 1 \, \text{m} = 100 \, \text{cm} \), so to convert centimeters to meters, we divide by 100.

Step2: Perform the conversion

The patient's height is \( 167 \, \text{cm} \). To convert to meters, we calculate \( \frac{167}{100} \).
\( \frac{167}{100} = 1.67 \, \text{m} \)

Answer:

C) 1.67 m
