12 m = 1200 cm
1200
Convert to the same units then the subtraction can be done: The centi- prefix means one hundredth (1/100) → 1 cm = 1/100 m → 12 cm = 12 × 1/100 m = 0.12 m → 1.2 m - 12 cm = 1.2 m - 0.12 m = 1.08 m
12 m 6 cm equals 1206 cm, which is greater than 126 cm.
Once you remember that there are 100 cm in 1 m this becomes very easy!
12 m = 1200 cm
1200
12 cm = 0.12 meter (100 cm = 1 m)
12 metres.
12,000 mm = 1,200 cm = 12 m
There are 3 meters and 12 centimeters in 312 centimeters.
Convert to the same units then the subtraction can be done: The centi- prefix means one hundredth (1/100) → 1 cm = 1/100 m → 12 cm = 12 × 1/100 m = 0.12 m → 1.2 m - 12 cm = 1.2 m - 0.12 m = 1.08 m
12 x 10 = 120 120 + 12 = 132 Therefore the answer is 132 cm (or 1.32 m).
12 km = 12,000 m = 1,200,000 cm
12 m 6 cm equals 1206 cm, which is greater than 126 cm.

12 meters is 1,200 centimeters (multiply meters by 1,000 to get cm).
