Question

Subtract 56m 53 cm 6mm from 60m 88cm (in m)

Answer 1

Answer:

4.344 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion of cm to m : 1 cm = 0.01 m

Conversion of mm to m : 1 mm = 0.001 m

Convert 60m 88cm to m:

60m 88cm = 60 m + (88 x 0.01) m

60m 88cm = 60.88 m

Convert 56m 53 cm 6mm to m:

56m 53 cm 6mm = 56m + (53 x 0.01)m + (6 x 0.001) m

56m 53 cm 6mm = 56.536 m

Subtract:

60.88 - 56.536 = 4.344 m

Answer: 4.344 m

Answer 2

Answer:

4.344 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two values 56m 53 cm 6mm and 60m 88cm respectively, and we need to subtract first number from the second one and find the result.

As we know

1 m = 100cm or 1cm = 0.01m

1 m = 1000mm or 1mm = 0.001m

So converting cm and mm part in above values to m.

56m 53 cm 6mm = 56 + 53 (0.01) + 6(0.001) = 56 + 0.53 + 0.006 = 56.536 m

60m 88cm = 60 + 88 (0.01) + 0(0.001) = 60 + .88 + 0 = 60.88 m

So,

60.88 - 58.536 = 4.344 m

So our result of subtraction is 4.344 m
