Answer 1

To convert 200 centimeters of snow to meters using the ratio 1 meter = 100 centimeters, you can use the following calculation:

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

So in this case:

\[ \text{Meters of snow} = \frac{200 \text{ cm}}{100} = 2 \text{ m} \]

Therefore, the town gets 2 meters of snow.

The correct response is 2.
