Question

How many meters are equivalent to \[357\]centimeters?

Answer 1

Hint:In unit conversion you have to know the small and big units so that according to the length you can use the unit accordingly, centimeter and meter are the Standard units for measuring length in standard measuring systems.

Formulae Used: \[100\,cm = 1meter(m)\].

Complete step by step solution:
Given length is \[357\,centimeters(cm)\]

With the relation between meter and centimeter, we say:
\[100\,cm = 1meter(m)\]

Now after adjusting the above equation that is by dividing \[100\] on the both side of equation so that for a unit centimeter we get the result then finally we can multiply the required number with unity for which we are searching for, we get:

\[\dfrac{{100}}{{100`}}cm = \dfrac{1}{{100}}m\]
\[1cm = \dfrac{1}{{100}}m\]
With the above equation now we get the results for unit centimeter and now after multiplying by
\[375cm\]as given in question we get,
\[
375cm = \dfrac{{375}}{{100}}m \\
375cm = 3.75m \\
\]
Hence the final result after conversion is \[3.75m\].

Additional Information: Meter and Centimeter is used as measuring length units, meter is here the international standard in measuring length. Meter is used as standard. While conversion of smaller unit to bigger unit you always have to divide, and at the same time while converting bigger unit to smaller you have to multiply.

Note: Unit conversion should be done according to the proper information of conversion from one unit to another, when you are dealing with length measuring then only you need meter and centimeter or millimeter and kilometer. According to the amount of length you are measuring you have to deal with such units higher the length higher the measuring unit.
