100cm make 1 meter
mm = milimeter = 0,001 meter. cm = centimeter = 0,01 meter. so 50 mm = 5 cm. Go back to school...
100
Let's see, there are 100 cm in a meter ("centi" means "hundredth" just as " milli" means "thousandth"), so half a meter would be half of a hundred cm, which makes 50 just about spot on....
1 meter = 100 cm 2 meters = 200 cm 3 meters = 300 cm . . . 50 meters = 5,000 cm
Half of a meter is 50 centimeters = 0.5 meters.
There are 100 cm in 1 meter so there must be 50 cm in half a meter. Fifty centimeters
100 cm in a meter 100% will be 100 cm 50% will be 50 cm 3 cm will be 3%

Let's see, there are 100 cm in a meter ("centi" means "hundredth" just as " milli" means "thousandth"), so half a meter would be half of a hundred cm, which makes 50 just about spot on....
1 meter = 100 cm 2 meters = 200 cm 3 meters = 300 cm . . . 50 meters = 5,000 cm
Centi = one hundredth So, there are one hundred centimeters in a meter. There are 50 cm in .5 meter.
The first step in answering this question is to convert the metres value into cm. That makes the sum easier, and allows us to work with consistent units. There are 100cm in a m, so to convert from m to cm you have to multiply by 100. In this case, we have 0.5m, so multiply that by 100 to give 50cm. Therefore the question can be rewritten as how many cm is 50cm longer than 34cm. The answer is just 50-34 or 16cm.
50 cm 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 centimeter = 0.01 meter
50 centimeters=0.5 meters50cm equals 0.5 meter.
