Dividing a Metre Worksheet
A craft stall has 1 metre of ribbon to share and cut into equal lengths. Use the information in each question and your division skills to solve the challenges. Remember: 1 metre = 100 centimetres = 1,000 millimetres.
Sharing a metre
Use the whole 1-metre ribbon as the starting length when working out each share.
1.One-tenth of a metre is one of 10 equal parts of 1 metre. How many centimetres long is it?
2.Charlie cuts 1 metre of ribbon into 4 equal pieces. How long is each piece in centimetres?
3.A 1-metre cord is divided into 5 equal pieces. What is the length of each piece?
- 5 cm
- 20 cm
- 50 cm
- 500 cm
4.One-tenth of a metre is one of 10 equal parts of 1 metre. How many hundredths of a metre is that?
5.A metre is 1,000 millimetres. If it is divided into 100 equal centimetre lengths, how many millimetres are in each centimetre?
Cutting and checking
Use division and the relationships between metres, centimetres and millimetres to tackle these practical problems.
