Answer 1

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

We can set up the conversion as follows:

\[ \text{Meters} = \frac{\text{Centimeters}}{100} \]

So,

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

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