Question

Use the ratio 1 meter = 100 centimeters. Prince George's County gets 278 centimeters of snow one winter. How many meters did the county get?

Answer 1

To convert centimeters to meters, we divide the number of centimeters by 100:

278 centimeters / 100 = 2.78 meters.

Therefore, Prince George's County got 2.78 meters of snow.
