Use the ratio 1 meter= 100 centimeters.A town gets 200 cm of snow one winter. How many meters of snow does it get?
A. 20,000
B. 2,000
C. 1
D. 2
To convert 200 cm of snow to meters, we divide 200 by 100 (since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters):
200 cm ÷ 100 = 2 meters
Therefore, the town gets 2 meters of snow.
The correct answer is D. 2.
To convert centimeters to meters, we need to divide by 100 since there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.
Given that the town gets 200 centimeters of snow, we can calculate the meters by dividing 200 by 100.
200 / 100 = 2
Therefore, the town gets 2 meters of snow.
The correct answer is D. 2.
To solve this problem, we need to convert the given amount of snow from centimeters to meters using the given ratio of 1 meter = 100 centimeters.
Given: 1 meter = 100 centimeters
To find how many meters of snow the town gets, we divide the given amount of snow (200 centimeters) by the conversion factor (100 centimeters/meter):
Snow in meters = Snow in centimeters / Conversion factor
Let's calculate this:
Snow in meters = 200 cm / (100 cm/m)
Now, perform the division:
Snow in meters = 200 / 100
Snow in meters = 2
Therefore, the town gets 2 meters of snow.
Answer: D. 2
