Question

Convert the following length from cm to meters using decimals.

$19\mathrm{cm}$

Answer 1

Converting centimeters to meters :

We know that,$1\mathrm{m}=100\mathrm{cm}$

So, $1\mathrm{cm}=\frac{1}{100}\mathrm{m}$

Therefore,

$19\mathrm{cm}$$=19\times \frac{1}{100}\mathrm{m}=\frac{19}{100}\mathrm{m}=0.19\mathrm{m}$m

Hence, $19\mathrm{cm}$ $=0.19\mathrm{m}$
