Sybil may have confused the units, since 65 centimetres is 6.5 meters The correct length of the desk in meters is 0.65 because a centimetre is 0.01 of a meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Her desk is actually 65 centimetre long . She made an error and conclude the length of her desk is 6.5 meter long. She made a mistake in her conversion .

1 centimetre = 0.01 meters

65 centimetres = ? meters

cross multiply

65 × 0.01 = 0.65  meters

A centimetre is equal to  0.01 meters. Therefore, using that conversion rate 65 centimetres will evaluate to 0.65 meters.  

The actual length of her desk in meters is 0.65. She made an error when converting her desk length from centimetres to meters.
