Let’s go through each problem one by one. We’ll convert units step by step using simple math.
Remember:
- 1 meter = 100 centimeters → to convert meters to cm, multiply by 100.
- 1 kilogram = 1000 grams → to convert kg to g, multiply by 1000.
- 1 kilometer = 1000 meters → so to convert km to m, multiply by 1000; then if needed, convert m to cm by multiplying by 100 again.

1. Long Jump: 5.8 meters → centimeters
5.8 × 100 =
580 cm
---
2. Shot Put: 7.2 kilograms → grams
7.2 × 1000 =
7200 grams
---
3. High Jump: 1.6 meters → centimeters
1.6 × 100 =
160 cm
---
4. Swimming Pool: 25 meters → centimeters
25 × 100 =
2500 cm
---
5. Marathon Distance: 42.195 kilometers → meters
First, convert km to meters:
42.195 × 1000 =
42,195 meters
*(Note: The question says “convert this distance to meters” — not centimeters. So we stop here.)*

6. Discus Throw: 1.5 meters → centimeters
1.5 × 100 =
150 cm
---
7. Relay Race: 100 meters → centimeters
100 × 100 =
10,000 cm
---
8. Gymnastics Beam: 5.5 meters → centimeters
5.5 × 100 =
550 cm
---
9. Triple Jump: 12.7 meters → centimeters
12.7 × 100 =
1270 cm
---
10. Archery Target: 122 centimeters → meters
To convert cm to meters, divide by 100:
122 ÷ 100 =
1.22 meters
