Question

reflection questions

1. which object was the longest? which was the shortest?
2. were your estimates usually too high or too low?
3. why is it important to use both inches and centimeters when measuring?
4. what might happen in engineering or design if measurements are not accurate?
5. if one object measured 10 cm, how many millimeters is that?

Explanation:

Question 5:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

We know that \(1\) centimeter is equal to \(10\) millimeters. So the conversion formula is \( \text{Millimeters} = \text{Centimeters} \times 10 \).

Step2: Substitute the value

Given the length of the object is \(10\) cm. Substitute \( \text{Centimeters} = 10 \) into the formula: \( \text{Millimeters} = 10 \times 10 \).

Step3: Calculate the result

\(10\times10 = 100\).

Answer:

The object is \(100\) millimeters.
