Question

81.3 cm converted to m?

Answer 1

`0.813 \ "m"`

Explanation:

In the metric system, one meter is equal to one hundred centimeters, i.e.

`1 \ "m"=100 \ "cm"`

`:.81.3 \ "cm"=81.3color(red)cancelcolor(black)"cm"*(1 \ "m")/(100color(red)cancelcolor(black)"cm")`

`=0.813 \ "m"`

Answer 2

`81.3` centimeters converts to `0.813` meters.

Explanation:

This is because `"1 meter"` is equal to `"100 cm"`.

So let's say that we need to convert `50` cm into meters. The best way to tackle the problem would be to divide the desired amount of cm by how many centimeters are in a meter.

`"50 cm"/"100 cm/1 m" = "0.5 m"`

If we apply the same concept to your problem:

`"81.3 cm"/"100 cm/1 m" = "0.813 m"`
