Question

Which is greater 2m or 275cm

Answer 1

There is 100 centimeters in 1 meter.

Change the meter to centimeter. Multiply: 2 x 100 = 200

200 cm < 275 cm ∴  is greater by 75 cm

Answer 2

1 meter = 100 cm

So 2 meters would equal 100 * 2 = 200 cm's.

275 is more than 200, so 275cm is greater than 2 meters.
