A centimeter is a one hundredth of a meter. To easily convert centimeters to meters simply move the decimal to the left two times.
100 cm = 1 m
Two to the left.
It is moved 2 places to the left.
2.131 meters equles 213.1 centimeters because there is 100 centeimeters in a meter so you move the decimal over two places.
10 meters = 1000 centimeters 10 meters = 10 000 millimeters in future just type it into google 10 meters to cm it will do many calculations from currencies to this have a nice day
Remember K H D | d c m (kilo, hecto, deka, (liter, meter, gram), deci, centi, milli). Meters are two places to the right of centimeters. So you have to move the decimal place twice to the right. You will get 1.1 m = 110 cm.
It is the system other than the U.S. that the rest of the world uses. It is alot easier also. If you have to convert .48 meters to kilometers, you just use KHDBDCM and start at the m and move to the k and move that decimal that many places, so it would be .00000048. Another: .52 centimeters to meters. 5.2 meters ISN'T THAT CLEAR AS MUD NOW?!?
There are 108 centimeters in 1.08 meters. You simply multiply 1.08 by 100 (1.08x100=108) or even simpler is to move the decimal two places to the right because you are multiplying by 100 which has two zeros.
You move it to the right.
to move meters to centimeters you have to move the decimal to the right 2 times
move the decimal to the left
Take the number of centimeters, move the decimal point 2 places this way and you have centimeters.
To the left.
The decimal point moves to the right.
0.18 meters =18 cm. when converting from meters to centimeters, you move the decimal point two spaces to the right.
Move the decimal point over twice, exp. : 540 centimeters equals 5.4 meters
Divide the measurement in centimeters by 100,000. In other words, move the decimal point 5 places to the left. Example: 500,000 centimeters = 5 kilometers
There are ten centimeters in a decimeter. Just move the decimal point.
Move it 2 places.
5 places to the left.
