Question

use the diagram in the box to convert the given measurement to the unit indicated. multiply by 10 for each step to the right. km hm dam m dm cm mm divide by 10 for each step to the left. 186.1 cm to hm = hm

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the number of steps from cm to hm

There are 4 steps from cm to hm (cm -> dm -> m -> dam -> hm).

Step2: Apply the conversion rule

Since we are moving to the left, we divide by 10 for each step. So we divide 186.1 by $10^4$.
$186.1\div10^4 = 186.1\div10000=0.01861$

Answer:

$0.01861$
