How do you convert 700 centimeters to meters

We set up a proportion to do this. There are 100 cm in 1 meter to we use this:

700 cm (1 m / 100 cm)

The cm's will cancel each other out since there is one in both the numerator and the denominator.

This leaves you with:

700 / 100 = 7.

The only units left when the centimeters cancel out is meters.

So there are 7 meters in 700 centimeters.
