QuestionLast month, a coral reef grew 4000 millimeters taller. Use the facts to find how much this is in meters. \begin{tabular}{|r|l|} \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{ Conversion facts for length } \\ \hline 1000 millimeters (mm)(\mathrm{mm}) & =1=1 meter (m)(\mathrm{m}) \\ \hline 100 centimeters (cm)(\mathrm{cm}) & =1=1 meter (m)(\mathrm{m}) \\ \hline 10 decimeters (dm)(\mathrm{dm}) & =1=1 meter (m)(\mathrm{m}) \\ \hline 1 dekameter (dam)(\mathrm{dam}) & =10=10 meters (m)(\mathrm{m}) \\ \hline 1 hectometer (hm)(\mathrm{hm}) & =100=100 meters (m)(\mathrm{m}) \\ \hline 1 kilometer (km)(\mathrm{km}) & =1000=1000 meters (m)(\mathrm{m}) \\ \hline \end{tabular} □\square m

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The coral reef grew 4000 4000 millimeters taller.
2. We need to convert millimeters to meters using the conversion fact that 1000 1000 millimeters equals 1 1 meter.

STEP 2

1. Identify the conversion factor.
2. Set up the conversion equation.
3. Perform the conversion calculation.

STEP 3

Identify the conversion factor from millimeters to meters. According to the table, 1000 1000 millimeters equals 1 1 meter.

STEP 4

Set up the conversion equation using the identified conversion factor. We need to convert 4000 4000 millimeters to meters.
Meters=Millimeters1000 \text{Meters} = \frac{\text{Millimeters}}{1000}

STEP 5

Perform the conversion calculation by substituting the given value into the equation.
Meters=40001000 \text{Meters} = \frac{4000}{1000}

STEP 6

Calculate the result.
Meters=4 \text{Meters} = 4
The coral reef grew:
4 meters\boxed{4 \text{ meters}}
