| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| use of 1 m = 100 cm eg 7 m = 700 cm or 185 cm = 1.85 m or 370 cm = 3.7 m | B1 |
| \(\text{``}{700}\text{''} - 2 \times 185\) (= 330) or \(7 - 2 \times \text{``}{1.85}\text{''}\) (= 3.3) oe | M1 |
| Correct answer scores full marks (unless from obvious incorrect working) Answer: 110 | A1 |

Notes
B1: for any correct conversion between metres and centimetres
M1: use of their converted value for this method mark ie “700” is their converted 7 m and “1.85” is their converted 185 cm
A1: allow 1.1 m or 1.1 metres
