Answer 1

To convert 225 millimeters to dekameters, we can use the metric table.

1 dekameter = 10 meters 1 meter = 1,000 millimeters

First, we need to convert millimeters to meters:

225 millimeters = 225 mm × (1 meter / 1,000 mm) = 0.225 meters

Next, we convert meters to dekameters:

0.225 meters = 0.225 m × (1 dekameter / 10 meters) = 0.0225 dekameters

Thus, the answer is 0.0225 dekameters.
