To convert centiseconds to seconds, you need to understand that one second is equal to 100 centiseconds. Therefore, to convert centiseconds to seconds, you divide the number of centiseconds by 100.
In this case, to convert 157 centiseconds to seconds, you would perform the following calculation:
157 centiseconds รท 100 = 1.57 seconds
So, 157 centiseconds is equivalent to 1.57 seconds. This conversion is useful in contexts where time needs to be measured in different units, such as in sports timing or in scientific experiments.
