To convert centimeters to meters, we need to divide the value in centimeters by 100.
Given that the town gets 200 centimeters of snow, we can divide it by 100 to find the equivalent value in meters.
200 centimeters ÷ 100 = 2 meters
Therefore, the town gets 2 meters of snow.
To find out how many meters of snow a town gets when given 200 centimeters of snow, we can use the given ratio: 1 meter = 100 centimeters.
Since we have 200 centimeters of snow, we need to convert it to meters.
To do that, we divide the number of centimeters by the conversion factor of 100 centimeters per 1 meter:
200 centimeters ÷ 100 centimeters/meter = 2 meters
Therefore, the town gets 2 meters of snow.
So, the correct answer is O 2,000 (option 01).
