93 mm

Answer 1

(a) ∵ 1 mm = \(\frac{1}{10}\) cm
∴ 5 mm = \(\frac{1}{10}\) x 5 = 0.5 cm

---

(b) ∵ 1 mm = \(\frac{1}{10}\) cm
∴ 60 mm = \(\frac{1}{10}\) x 60 = 6 cm

---

(c) ∵ 1 mm = \(\frac{1}{10}\) cm
∴ 164 mm = \(\frac{1}{10}\) x 164 = 16.4 cm

---

(d) ∵ 1 mm = \(\frac{1}{10}\) cm
∴ 9cm 8mm = 9+\(\frac{1}{10}\)x 8 = 9+0.8 =9.8 cm

---

(e) ∵ 1 mm = \(\frac{1}{10}\) cm
∴ 93 mm = \(\frac{1}{10}\) x 93 = 9.3 cm
