Question

How many meters is $120\mathrm{cm}$?

Answer 1

Convert from centimeter to meter

We know that,

$100$ centimeters$=1$ meter

To convert from centimeter to meter, divide by $100$.

i.e., $1$ centimeter $=\frac{1}{100}$ meters [by unitary method]

$\Rightarrow$ $120$ centimeters $=\frac{1}{100}\times 120$ meters

$\Rightarrow$ $120$ centimeters $=\frac{12}{10}$ meters

$\Rightarrow$ $120$ centimeters $=1.2$ meters

Therefore, $120\mathrm{cm}$ equals $1.2\mathrm{m}$.
