Question

26. The height of a flagpole is 6m.
This height expressed in mm, is
A) 60 mm
B) 600 mm
C) 6000 mm
D) 60 000 mm

Answer 1

Answer: C) 6000 mm

Step-by-step explanation: There are 1000 mm in a meter. So, if the flagpole is 6 meters, then that means it has to be 6000mm.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer: C) 6,000 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

      We can set up a dimensional analysis problem to help us solve. We know there are 1,000 mm in a m.

             $\displaystyle 6m(\frac{1000mm}{1m})$

      The units $\frac{m}{m}$ cancel out, leaving us with mm units. This is what we want as it asks for the answer in mm, so we will multiply across and simplify.

$6 * 1,000 = 6,000$
