Sure, let's convert [tex]\(5/4\)[/tex] meters to centimeters step-by-step:
1. Identify the measurement to be converted:
- You have a measurement of [tex]\(\frac{5}{4}\)[/tex] meters.
2. Understand the conversion factor:
- We need to convert meters to centimeters.
- We know that [tex]\(1\)[/tex] meter is equal to [tex]\(100\)[/tex] centimeters.
3. Perform the conversion:
- To convert meters to centimeters, you multiply the number of meters by the conversion factor.
- So, [tex]\(\frac{5}{4}\)[/tex] meters is multiplied by [tex]\(100\)[/tex] centimeters per meter.
4. Perform the calculation:
- [tex]\(\frac{5}{4} \times 100 = \frac{5 \times 100}{4} = \frac{500}{4}= 125\)[/tex].
Therefore, [tex]\(\frac{5}{4}\)[/tex] meters is equivalent to [tex]\(125\)[/tex] centimeters.
