Solution

Convert centimetres to meters :

A centimeter is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), the current form of the metric system. It is denoted as cm. It is defined as 1100m.

A meter is the base unit of length and distance in the International System of Units (SI). It is denoted as m. It is defined as 100cm.

For converting centimeters to meters, the formula used is :

1cm=1100m

For example, if we need to convert 15cm to m, we will use the above formula.

15cm=15×1100m=15100m=0.15m

Thus, using the formula 1cm=1100m, we can convert centimetres to meters.
