We use different metric units to measure We

We use different metric units to measure : - We can use our knowledge of multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 or 1000 to change or convert measurements in one unit to measurements in another unit.

We are going to use our knowledge about multiplying and dividing by 100 to convert centimetres to metres and to convert metres to centimetres.

There are 100 centimetres in 1 metre When we change from cm to m we divide by: - Remember! When we divide by 100 the units move two places to the right. This is how we change 427 cm into metres: H T U th hth th ÷ 100 4 2 7 0 0 0
