Mariyam, a marine biologist, measures the length of a great white shark at 4.5 m long and its teeth at an average of 50 mm long. she wants to convert both measurements to centimeters. what should her new numbers be?

Her new numbers are 450 and 5.

Explanation:

Given information:

Length of white shark = 4.5 m

Length of its teeth = 50 mm

She wants to convert both measurements to centimeters.

We know that,

1 m = 100 cm

Using the above conversion we get

4.5 m = 4.5 × 100 = 450 cm

The length of white shark is 450 cm.

We know that,

1 mm = 0.1 cm

Using the above conversion we get

50 mm = 50 × 0.1 = 5 cm

The length of its teeth is 5 cm.
