Answer 1

To convert centimeters of snow to meters, you can use the ratio:

1 meter = 100 centimeters.

To find out how many meters correspond to 200 centimeters, you can divide the number of centimeters by 100:

\[ 200 \text{ cm} \div 100 \text{ cm/m} = 2 \text{ m} \]

So, the town gets 2 meters of snow.

The correct response is:
