Use the ratio 1 meter = 100 centimeters. A town gets 200 centimeters of snow one winter. How many meters of snow does it get?

Answer 1

To find the number of meters of snow, we need to convert 200 centimeters to meters using the given ratio.

Since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, we can set up the equation:

200 centimeters * (1 meter / 100 centimeters)

Simplifying the equation, we have:

200 * (1 / 100) = 2

Therefore, the town gets 2 meters of snow.
