Question

How do you convert 100 cm to meters?

Answer 1

Step 1: Given data:

Given length to convert = $100cm$.

Step 2: Formula used:

1. A centimeter is the CGS unit of length,
2. Meter is an SI unit of length.
3. We know that a centimeter is$\frac{1}{100}$ times of meter.

Step 3: Calculating centimeters to meters

$1$ centimeter is$\frac{1}{100}$ times of meter.

$1cm=\frac{1}{100}m$

Multiplying both sides by $100$.

⇒ $100cm=1m.$

So, 1 m = 100 cm.
