Conversion

Metre into Centimetre

To convert metres into centimetres, we multiply the number of metres by 100.

Example 1: My mother bought 4 m of cloth to make a kurta. What is its length in cm?

Solution: 4 m = (4 × 100) cm = 400 cm

Metre and Centimetre into Centimetre

To convert metres and centimetres into centimetres, we multiply the number of metres
by 100 and add the product to the number of centimetres.
