Since we are converting meters to centimeters we are converting large to small.
Expect the answer to be a larger number. Here are some example of large to small: 2 weeks (larger unit) = 14 days (smaller unit) 14 is larger than 2 4 days (larger unit ) = 96 hours (smaller unit) 96 is larger than 4 Since there are 100cm in a meter, when we change meters to cm, we need a bigger number. The conversion factor is 100 and should be used as a multiplier. Example: 47m x 100 = 4700 cm
