Answer 1

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

1 meter = 100 centimeters.

To find out how many meters are in 200 centimeters, you divide the number of centimeters by 100:

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

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