The formulas for conversion are represented below:
cm = m * 100
Example: 2 Meters in Centimeters:
cm = m * 100
cm = 2 * 100
cm = 200
m = cm / 100
Example: 250 Centimeters in Meters:
m = cm / 100
m = 100 / 100
m = 2.5
Considering that 1 Meter equals 100 Centimeters, you can use a rule of three to get that 10 Meters equal 1000 Centimeters.
1 m - 100 cm
10 m - x
Apply the rule of three and get:
x m = 1000 cm2
x = 1000cm
If every 100 Centimeters we have 1 Meter, just divide the number of Centimeters (160) by 100, so you will get that 160 cm equals 1.6 m. Observe the calculation below:
m = cm / 100
m = 160 / 100
m = 1.6
