Question

during a huge snowstorm in the white mountains last year, it snowed 69.5 cm in one day. how much did it snow in meters? be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall cm to m conversion

1 meter = 100 centimeters, so conversion factor is $\frac{1\ \text{m}}{100\ \text{cm}}$

Step2: Convert 69.5 cm to meters

$69.5\ \text{cm} \times \frac{1\ \text{m}}{100\ \text{cm}} = 0.695\ \text{m}$

Answer:

0.695 m
