Answer 1

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

To find the number of meters, you would divide the number of centimeters by 100:

\[ \text{meters} = \frac{\text{centimeters}}{100} = \frac{200 , \text{cm}}{100} = 2 , \text{m} \]

So, the town gets 2 meters of snow.
