Let's solve the
Metric Units: Meters and Centimeters worksheet step by step. The key concept is:
>
1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm)
This means:
- To convert
meters to centimeters, multiply by 100.
- To convert
centimeters to meters, divide by 100.

Part 1: Convert meters to centimeters
We multiply each value by 100.
1.
83 m = ? cm
$ 83 \times 100 = 8,300 $ cm
2.
21 m = ? cm
$ 21 \times 100 = 2,100 $ cm
3.
63 m = ? cm
$ 63 \times 100 = 6,300 $ cm
4.
48 m = ? cm
$ 48 \times 100 = 4,800 $ cm
5.
85 m = ? cm
$ 85 \times 100 = 8,500 $ cm
6.
35 m = ? cm
$ 35 \times 100 = 3,500 $ cm
7.
74 m = ? cm
$ 74 \times 100 = 7,400 $ cm
8.
50 m = ? cm
$ 50 \times 100 = 5,000 $ cm
9.
19 m = ? cm
$ 19 \times 100 = 1,900 $ cm
10.
95 m = ? cm
$ 95 \times 100 = 9,500 $ cm

Part 2: Convert centimeters to meters
We divide each value by 100.
11.
800 cm = ? m
$ 800 \div 100 = 8 $ m
12.
200 cm = ? m
$ 200 \div 100 = 2 $ m
13.
600 cm = ? m
$ 600 \div 100 = 6 $ m
14.
300 cm = ? m
$ 300 \div 100 = 3 $ m
15.
500 cm = ? m
$ 500 \div 100 = 5 $ m
16.
700 cm = ? m
$ 700 \div 100 = 7 $ m
17.
100 cm = ? m
$ 100 \div 100 = 1 $ m
18.
900 cm = ? m
$ 900 \div 100 = 9 $ m
19.
400 cm = ? m
$ 400 \div 100 = 4 $ m
20.
1,000 cm = ? m
$ 1,000 \div 100 = 10 $ m

📝 Explanation:
- Since
1 meter = 100 centimeters, converting between them is just moving the decimal point:
-
Meters → Centimeters: Move decimal
two places right (multiply by 100).
-
Centimeters → Meters: Move decimal
two places left (divide by 100).
For example:
- 83 m = 83.0 → move decimal two places right → 8,300 cm
- 800 cm = 800.0 → move decimal two places left → 8.0 m
This method helps with quick mental math and understanding metric conversions.
