Convert $525$ cm to dam.

1. Problem Description

Convert $525$ cm to dam.

2. Solution Steps

We need to convert centimeters (cm) to decameters (dam). We know the following relationships:

1 m = 100 cm

1 dam = 10 m

Therefore, to convert from cm to m, we divide by

1

0

0. To convert from m to dam, we divide by

1

0. So, to convert from cm to dam, we divide by $100 \times 10 = 1000$.

$525 \text{ cm} = \frac{525}{100} \text{ m} = 5.25 \text{ m}$

$5.25 \text{ m} = \frac{5.25}{10} \text{ dam} = 0.525 \text{ dam}$

Alternatively:

$1 \text{ cm} = 0.01 \text{ m}$

$1 \text{ m} = 0.1 \text{ dam}$

$1 \text{ cm} = 0.01 \times 0.1 \text{ dam} = 0.001 \text{ dam}$

$525 \text{ cm} = 525 \times 0.001 \text{ dam} = 0.525 \text{ dam}$

3. Final Answer

$0.525$ dam
