Question

use dimensional analysis for each problem. how many centimeters are equal to 5.6 m?
560 cm
56 cm
0.56 cm
5600 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Recall meter-centimeter conversion

We know $1\ \text{m} = 100\ \text{cm}$

Step2: Set up dimensional analysis

Multiply the given meters by the conversion factor:
$5.6\ \text{m} \times \frac{100\ \text{cm}}{1\ \text{m}}$

Step3: Calculate the result

Cancel the unit "m", then compute $5.6 \times 100 = 560$

Answer:

560 cm (matches the green option: 560 cm)
