Answer m²
Question 1 (2 marks) [Units]
Convert 56,000 cm² to m².
Answer: 5.6 m²
- 1 m = 100 cm, so 1 m² = 100 × 100 = 10 000 cm² (for squared units, square the conversion factor).
- Going from the small unit (cm²) to the big unit (m²) means DIVIDE: 56,000 ÷ 10 000 = 5.6.
Area and volume units need the conversion factor SQUARED or CUBED (1 m² = 10 000 cm²).
