use the ratio 1 meter equals 100 centimeters a town gets 200 centimeters of snow one winter how many meters of snow does it get

Answer 1

To convert centimeters to meters using the ratio that 1 meter equals 100 centimeters, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{meters} = \frac{\text{centimeters}}{100} \]

In this case, the town gets 200 centimeters of snow. So, to convert it to meters:

\[ \text{meters} = \frac{200 \text{ cm}}{100} = 2 \text{ meters} \]

Therefore, the town gets 2 meters of snow.
