Therefore, the town gets 2 meters of snow.
Answer: D. 2,000
To convert centimeters to meters, you divide the number of centimeters by 100 since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters.
Given that the town gets 200 centimeters of snow, you can calculate the equivalent in meters by dividing 200 by 100.
Therefore, the town gets 2 meters of snow.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 2.
To determine the number of meters of snow the town gets, we need to use the given ratio of 1 meter = 100 centimeters.
First, we need to convert the given 200 centimeters of snow into meters. To do this, we divide the number of centimeters by the conversion factor, 100 centimeters/meter:
200 centimeters รท 100 centimeters/meter = 2 meters
Therefore, the town gets 2 meters of snow.
So the correct answer is option A. 2 meters.
