A book has a width of 2.5 decimeters. What is the width of the book in centimeters?

0.25 centimeters
25 centimeters
250 centimeters
0.025 centimeters

The correct answer is: 25 centimeters

To convert the width of the book from decimeters to centimeters, it is important to know the relationship between these two units of measurement. One decimeter is equal to ten centimeters. Given that the width of the book is 2.5 decimeters, you can convert this measurement to centimeters by multiplying by 10: 2.5 decimeters × 10 = 25 centimeters. Thus, the width of the book in centimeters is 25 cm, confirming that this is the correct answer. Understanding unit conversions is crucial for these types of problems, as it allows for accurate calculations between different metric units.
