546 centimeters= ? meters

Question

Show work with dimension analysis method.

Answer 1

1 meter = 100 centimeters

it's like a dollar to a penny

1 cm = 0.01 m. = 1 meter/100 = (1/100) m.

546 cm = 5.46 m.

Just move the decimal point 2 places to the left.

substitute .01 m for cm

546 cm = 546(0.01 m) = 546 x .01 m. = 5.46 m.
