Answer 1

To convert centimeters to meters using the ratio \(1 \text{ meter} = 100 \text{ centimeters}\), you can use the following calculation:

\[ \text{Meters} = \frac{\text{Centimeters}}{100} \]

In this case, the town received 200 centimeters of snow, so:

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

Therefore, the town gets 2 meters of snow. The correct response is:
