Answer 1

To convert 200 centimeters of snow to meters, you can use the conversion ratio where 1 meter = 100 centimeters.

Here's the calculation:

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

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