1. The problem is to convert 900 meters into other units of length using the given conversion facts.
2. The conversion formulas are:
- $1000\text{ mm} = 1\text{ m}$
- $100\text{ cm} = 1\text{ m}$
- $10\text{ dm} = 1\text{ m}$
- $1\text{ dam} = 10\text{ m}$
- $1\text{ hm} = 100\text{ m}$
- $1\text{ km} = 1000\text{ m}$
3. To convert meters to other units, multiply or divide by the appropriate factor:
- To millimeters: $900\text{ m} \times 1000 = 900000\text{ mm}$
- To centimeters: $900\text{ m} \times 100 = 90000\text{ cm}$
- To decimeters: $900\text{ m} \times 10 = 9000\text{ dm}$
- To dekameters: $\frac{900}{10} = \cancel{\frac{900}{10}}90\text{ dam}$
- To hectometers: $\frac{900}{100} = \cancel{\frac{900}{100}}9\text{ hm}$
- To kilometers: $\frac{900}{1000} = \cancel{\frac{900}{1000}}0.9\text{ km}$
4. Explanation: Multiplying by 1000, 100, or 10 converts meters to smaller units (mm, cm, dm) because these units are smaller than a meter. Dividing by 10, 100, or 1000 converts meters to larger units (dam, hm, km) because these units are larger than a meter.
Final answers:
- $900000\text{ mm}$
- $90000\text{ cm}$
- $9000\text{ dm}$
- $90\text{ dam}$
- $9\text{ hm}$
- $0.9\text{ km}$
