Questions: Question 11, 4.2.49 Change to the measure indicated. When using the metric-value chart, place the decimal immediately after the measuring unit. 41 cm = dm 41 cm = dm (Type a whole number or a decimal.)

Solution Steps

To convert centimeters (cm) to decimeters (dm), we need to know the conversion factor between these units. Since 1 decimeter (dm) is equal to 10 centimeters (cm), we can convert by dividing the number of centimeters by 10.

To convert from centimeters (cm) to decimeters (dm), we use the conversion factor: \[ 1 \, \text{dm} = 10 \, \text{cm} \]

Given the value \( 41 \, \text{cm} \), we convert it to decimeters by dividing by the conversion factor: \[ 41 \, \text{cm} \div 10 = 4.1 \, \text{dm} \]
