Chapter 9: Problem 99

Convert to an appropriate metric unit so that the numerical expression in the given measure does not contain any zeros. \(11,000 \mathrm{~mm}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The appropriate metric unit for \(11,000 \mathrm{~mm}\) such that the numerical expression does not contain any zeros is \(11 \mathrm{~m}\)

Step by step solution

01

Converting from Millimeters to Centimeters

We know that 1 cm equals 10 mm. So, to convert millimeters to centimeters, the value in millimeters should be divided by 10. Hence \(11,000 \mathrm{~mm}\) divided by 10 equals \(1,100 \mathrm{~cm}\).
02

Converting from Centimeters to Meters

Moving upward on the metric length scale, next is meters. It is known that 1 m equals 100 cm. So, to convert the value from centimeters to meters, the value in centimeters should be divided by 100. Hence \(1,100 \mathrm{~cm}\) divided by 100 equals \(11 \mathrm{~m}\).
03

Check if the numerical expression does not contain any zeros

This means the value should be in the simplest form without zeros. Here, the value \(11 \mathrm{~m}\) does not contain any zeros and therefore, it is the appropriate metric unit.
