Answer:

Hey there!

We can't compare two measurements without converting them to  the same units. Thus, we use proportions to make all the values into the same unit.

[tex]12.5 cm(\frac{10 milimeters}{1 centimeter})[/tex], which converts to centimetres to millimetres.

12.5 cm=125 mm.

Now, we can compare the values of 125 mm and 140 mm.

Clearly, we see that 140 mm is greater than 125 mm.

Let me know if this helps :)

Answer:

If this is your question:

Select all that apply.

To decide if 12.5 centimeters is greater than 140 millimeters, the first step is to set up a proportion. Which of the following proportions are correct?

[tex]\frac{10 mm}{1 cm} = \frac{140 mm}{x} \\\\\frac{10 mm}{1 cm} = \frac{x}{140 mm} \\\\\frac{1 cm}{10 mm} = \frac{12.5 cm}{x} \\\\\frac{12.5 cm}{1 cm} = \frac{140 mm}{x} \\\\[/tex]

Then your answer is:

[tex]\frac{10 mm}{1 cm} = \frac{140 mm}{x} \\\\\frac{1 cm}{10 mm} = \frac{12.5 cm}{x}[/tex]    

I saw a lot of one answers, but the question is Select ALL that Apply

not just c or b

I hope this helped :))))) (●'◡'●)
