Question

How do you convert 3 meters to centimeters?

Answer 1

Step 1: Given

Length = 1m

Step 2: Conversion of the meter into a centimeter.

Centimeter and meter

1. A centimeter (cm) is the CGS unit of length, whereas a meter (m) is the SI unit of length.
2. 1 m = 100 cm.

We know, 1 m = 100 cm

⇒ 3 m = 3×100 cm.

⇒ 3 m = 300 cm.

Therefore 3 meters equal to 300 centimeters.
