Question

use the diagram in the box to convert the given measurement to the unit indicated.
2 m to cm
□ cm
(type an integer or a decimal.)
×10
multiply by 10 for each step to the right
km hm dam m dm cm mm
divide by 10 for each step to the left.
÷10

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the number of steps from m to cm

From the diagram, moving from m to cm, we move 2 steps to the right (m → dm → cm).

Step2: Multiply by 10 for each step

Since we move 2 steps to the right, we multiply the value in meters by \(10^2\) (because each step is a multiplication by 10). So for 2 m, we calculate \(2\times10\times10\).
First, \(2\times10 = 20\) (first step to dm), then \(20\times10 = 200\) (second step to cm).

Answer:

200
