There are 100 centimeters in a meter so we must divide by 100. 255 divided by 100 is 2.55. So 255 centimeters is 2.55 meters.
In general, the easy way to do this, is multiply by a fraction and let the units you no longer want cancel out. So we have cm and we want meters. We need to multiply by meters/centimeters.
In this case that is 1/100. Multiplying by 1/100 is the same as dividing by 100.
