Question

would it take more meters or more centimeters to measure the length of a playground

Answer 1

This is a question to compare two units of measurements.

We want to compare cm and meters.

When we compare the two, we realise that cm are smaller than meters.

For instance we can write the conversion formula.

100 cm = 1 m

Lets say we want to measure a field that has a length of 10m.

In cm this would be :

10 × 100 = 1000 cm

Therefore we see that we will have many centimeters when measuring the length of a playground since it is a larger length.

Answer 2

The answer is simple, it will take more centimetre to measure a playground as compared to meters.

A centimetre is the smallest unit of measurement. Even 1 m = 100 cm that means that if the length of the playground is 30 m then it will be 300 cm that will make it a big value.
