1. Problem Description

Convert 2.52.5 decameters (dam) to centimeters (cm).

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to know the conversion factors.
1 dam=10 m1 \text{ dam} = 10 \text{ m}
1 m=100 cm1 \text{ m} = 100 \text{ cm}
Therefore, 1 dam=10×100 cm=1000 cm1 \text{ dam} = 10 \times 100 \text{ cm} = 1000 \text{ cm}
Now, we can convert 2.52.5 dam to cm:
2.5 dam=2.5×1000 cm=2500 cm2.5 \text{ dam} = 2.5 \times 1000 \text{ cm} = 2500 \text{ cm}

3. Final Answer

25002500 cm
