Questions: Convert 45 centimeters to meters.

Solution Steps

To convert centimeters to meters, we need to know that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters. Therefore, we can convert centimeters to meters by dividing the number of centimeters by 100.

To convert centimeters to meters, we use the conversion factor: \[ 1 \text{ meter} = 100 \text{ centimeters} \]

Given: \[ \text{centimeters} = 45 \]

We convert centimeters to meters by dividing by the conversion factor: \[ \text{meters} = \frac{\text{centimeters}}{100} \]

Substitute the given value: \[ \text{meters} = \frac{45}{100} = 0.45 \]
