lupe has to measure the length of objects in meters for her homework, but she only has a ruler that measures centimeters. if she finds an object measures 25 centimeters, how many meters does it measure? first show how many meters are equivalent to 25 centimeters.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall cm to m conversion

We know $100 \text{ centimeters} = 1 \text{ meter}$, so $1 \text{ centimeter} = \frac{1}{100} \text{ meters}$.

Step2: Calculate 25 cm in meters

Multiply 25 by the conversion factor:
$25 \times \frac{1}{100} = \frac{25}{100} = 0.25$

Answer:

0.25
