Step-by-step explanation:
Since 1m = 100cm,
55cm : 1m = 55cm : 100cm = 55/100 = 11/20.
The measurement of units as a fraction in its lowest terms is 11/20 meter.
A unit conversion expresses the same property as a different unit of measurement. In order to have accuracy and avoid confusion in measurement, we need to convert one unit to another. On conversion, one unit can be expressed as a fraction of another unit.
For the given situation,
The measurement of units in cm is 55 cm.
We know that,
[tex]1cm=\frac{1}{100}m[/tex]
Now, the units in cm can be converted as a fraction in meters as,
⇒ [tex]55cm=\frac{55}{100}m[/tex]
Divide by 5 on both numerator and denominator,
⇒ [tex]\frac{11}{20}[/tex]
Thus the measurement of units expressed as a fraction in meters as 11/20 meter.
Hence we can conclude that the measurement of units as a fraction in its lowest terms is 11/20 meter.
