How many meters in 4800 cm?

Answer 1

48 meters

1 meter = 100 centimeters, therefore:

1/100 meters = 1 centimeter, this means you divide by 100 to convert centimeters to meters

4800/100 = 48 meters

Another way to remember whether to divide or whether to multiply for conversion goes like this. Centimeters are smaller than meter, and there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter. This means you need 100 centimeters to make 1 meter. In order to figure out how many meters is in a number of centimeters, you need to know how many sets of 100 centimeters there are. This means you should divide by 100.

Answer 2

There are 100 cm in 1 metre, so divide 4800 by 100. There are 48 metres in 4800 cm.
