How do you convert 73cm to 0.73 m?

Answer 1

Use a conversion factor of (100 cm/m).

Since 100 cm and 1 m are the same length, you can divide them : (100 cm) ÷ (1 m) = 1 {dimensionless, no units}. Now, multiplying or dividing by 1 doesn't change the value, so (100 cm/m) or (0.01 m/cm) is the same as the dimensionless 1.

So (73 cm) ÷ (100 cm/m) = (73/100) m = 0.73 m

Answer 2

To convert 73cm to meters, divide by 100 because there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter. Therefore, 73cm is equal to 0.73 meters.
