the tree in Kareem's backyard is 5 m high how high is it in centimeters

Answer 1

To convert meters to centimeters, you multiply the number of meters by 100 (since 1 meter equals 100 centimeters).

So, for the tree that is 5 meters high:

\[ 5 , \text{m} \times 100 = 500 , \text{cm} \]

The tree is 500 centimeters tall.
