Questions: Replace the question mark with the appropriate value. 16 cm^2=? m^2 16 cm^2=□ m^2 (Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a decimal.)

Solution Steps

To convert \( 16 \, \text{cm}^2 \) to square meters, we use the conversion factor where \( 1 \, \text{m}^2 = 10,000 \, \text{cm}^2 \). Therefore, we can express the conversion as:

\[ 16 \, \text{cm}^2 = \frac{16}{10,000} \, \text{m}^2 \]

Now, we simplify the fraction:

\[ \frac{16}{10,000} = 0.0016 \, \text{m}^2 \]
