Use the ratio 1 meter = 100 centimeters. A town gets 200 centimeters of snow one winter. How many meters of snow does it get?
To find the number of meters of snow, we need to convert 200 centimeters to meters using the given ratio.
Since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, we can set up the equation:
200 centimeters * (1 meter / 100 centimeters)
Simplifying the equation, we have:
200 * (1 / 100) = 2
Therefore, the town gets 2 meters of snow.
