Best Answer

You want to convert 50 cm to meters.

Since there are 100 centimeters in a meter....

50 cm = 50 cm x (1/100) m/cm = 0.5 m

Along one side there will be ...

8 meters/(0.5 meters/slab) = 16 slabs

In total there will be 16 x 16 = 256 slabs (Draw a diagram to appreciate why)

To do conversions and simple math I recommend the Google Calculator. Go to the WikiAnswer http://wiki.answers.com/Q/In_detail_how_do_you_convert_units for more details.

How many 600 x 600 paving slabs would you need to cover 80 square meters?

A square slab measuring 0.6 metres all round has an area of 0.36 square metres. This means that to cover an area of 24 square metres you will need 66 slabs and 2/3 of a slab. Covering the area may be problematic if 1/3 of a slab and 2/3 of a slab become involved, of lesser fractions, depending on the exact length and width which gave the area of 24 - and if there is a pattern to maintain.
