Question

How many $\textup{centimeters}$ are in $13\textup { meters?}$

Answer

To solve this problem we can make proportions.

We know that $1\ centimeter= .01\ meters$ and we can use as our unknown.

$\frac{1\ centimeter}{.01\ meter}=\frac{x\ centimeters}{13\ meters}$

Next, we want to cross multiply and divide to isolate the on one side.

$1\ centimeter\times 13\ meters=.01\ meter\times x\ centimeters$

$\frac{1\ centimeter\times 13\ meters}{.01\ meter}= x\ centimeters$

The will cancel and we are left with $1,300\ centimeters$
