To convert centimeters to meters, you need to remember that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters. Therefore, to convert 100 centimeters to meters, you divide the number of centimeters by 100.
Here’s the quick calculation:
100 cm ÷ 100 = 1 meter
This means that 100 centimeters is equal to 1 meter. This conversion is straightforward because both units are part of the metric system, which is based on powers of ten, making it relatively easy to switch between different units of measure.
