Question

which is larger, 4/5 meters or 85 centimeters

Answer 1

Hey,

Thanks for asking the question.

Here's your answer:-

First of all know these things,
1 metre = 100 cm

1 centimeter = 1/100 metre

Now,

4/5 metre = 4/5 of 100 cm
= 4 × 20
= 80 cm

Given values for comparison,

4/5 meter and 85 centimeters
80 centimeters and 85 centimeters

Hence,

80 < 85
4/5< 85

So,
The larger number is 85 centimetres.

Hope it helped.

Answer 2

We know that 1 meter = 100 cm.

First convert both things to same units

4/5 m =4/5*100 cm =80 cm.

85 cm =85 cm.

here 85 cm >80 cm

Therefore, 85 cm > 4/5 m.

85 cm is larger than 4/5 m
