1cm = 1/4 mm

Question

1cm = 1/8 mm


Above are two different models of a microchip. If the model of the microchip on the left measures 6 cm tall, how tall is the model of the microchip on the right?

Answer 1

First, we need to convert the height of the microchip on the left from centimeters to millimeters using the first given conversion ratio.

6 cm = 6 * 1/4 mm = 6/4 mm = 1.5 mm

Now, we need to convert this height from millimeters to the units of the microchip on the right using the second given conversion ratio.

1.5 mm = 1.5 * 8 cm = 12 cm

Therefore, the model of the microchip on the right is 12 cm tall.
