Solution:
100 cm is equivalent to 1 m then the conversion factor to convert centimeters to meters is:
[tex](\frac{1m}{100\text{ cm}})[/tex]then, 8cm is equivalent to
[tex]8cm(\frac{1m}{100\text{ cm}})\text{ = 0.08m}[/tex]We can conclude that the correct answer is:
[tex]0.08\text{ m}[/tex]on the other hand, notice that the comparison between the NUMBERS/CONSTANTS (not units) is:
[tex]0.08\text{ < 8}[/tex]
