Use the ratio 1 meter = 100 centimeters. A town gets 200 centimeters of snow one winter. How many meters of snow does it get?
2
1
20,000
2,000
The correct answer is 2.
To convert centimeters to meters, we divide by 100 since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters.
Therefore, 200 centimeters (200/100) is equal to 2 meters.
