Paul's parents give him a small scoop of peas with dinner. He lines them up all the way across the top of his 20-centimeter plate. Then, he eats them one at a time. If each pea is about 8 millimeters wide, how many peas does Paul eat?

Respuesta :

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is a unit problem. Firstly, to appropriately answer this question, we must make sure that we have the same units across boards.

We first convert the length of the 20-centimeter plate to millimeters. We recall that 10millimeters = 1 centimeter.

Hence 20 centimeters would be 20 * 10 = 200 millimeters.

The number of pea she has is thus equal to 200/8 = 25 peas
