Answer for screen readers
The final answer is ( 220 , \text{cm} ).
Steps to Solve
- Identify the conversion factor
We know that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters. This is our conversion factor.
- Set up the equation for conversion
To convert 2.2 meters to centimeters, we need to multiply the number of meters by the conversion factor:
$$ \text{centimeters} = \text{meters} \times 100 $$
- Perform the multiplication
Now, substitute 2.2 m into the equation:
$$ \text{centimeters} = 2.2 , \text{m} \times 100 $$
Calculate the result:
$$ \text{centimeters} = 220 , \text{cm} $$
The final answer is ( 220 , \text{cm} ).
