Is 5.28 centimeters the same length as 528 meters?

Answer 1

No.

1 m = 100 cm

⇒ 528 m = 528 x 100 cm

= 52800 cm

However:

5.28m = 5.28 x 100 cm

= 528 cm

that is 5.28 meters is the same length as 528 centimeters.

The centimeter is the smaller unit, therefore there will be more of them for the same length.
