Question

How do you convert 700 centimeters to meters?

Answer 1

`700*cm-=7.00*m`

Explanation:

The `"c"` prefix in `"cm"` stands for `"centi"`, i.e. `10^-2`.

Thus `700*cm-=700xx10^-2m` `=` `7.00*m`

Answer 2

`700" centimetres" = 7" metres"`

Explanation:

We require to know the following fact.

`color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(1" metre" =100" centimetres"" or " 1m=100cm)color(white)(2/2)|)))`

`100" cm"to1"m"`

`rArr(7xx100)"cm"to(7xx1)"m"`

Hence 700 cm = 7m

Alternatively : `(700"cm")/(100"cm")=7"m"`
