The formulas for conversion are represented below:
m = cm / 100
Example: 100 Centimeters in Meters:
m = cm / 100
m = 100 / 100
m = 1
cm = m * 100
Example: 5 Meters in Centimeters:
cm = m * 100
cm = 5 * 100
cm = 500
Considering that 1 Centimeter is equivalent to 0.01 Meter, you can use a rule of three to obtain that 50 Centimeter equals 0.5 Meter.
1 cm - 0,01 m
50 cm - x
Apply the rule of three and get:
x cm = 0,5 cm2
x = 0,5 m
If there are 100 centimeters for every 1 meter, just multiply the number of meters (190) by 100, so you will get that 190 m equals 19,000 cm. Observe the calculation below:
cm = m * 100
cm = 190 * 100
cm = 19000
