Answer 1

To convert 200 centimeters of snow to meters, you can use the given ratio:

1 meter = 100 centimeters

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

\[ 200 , \text{centimeters} \div 100 = 2 , \text{meters} \]

So, the town gets 2 meters of snow.

The correct response is: 2.
