Question

how many centimeters are in 4.5 meters? *
45
0.45
450
4500

Explanation:

Step1: Recall unit conversion

We know that \( 1 \text{ meter} = 100 \text{ centimeters} \). So to convert meters to centimeters, we multiply the number of meters by 100.

Step2: Perform the conversion

We have \( 4.5 \) meters. To convert this to centimeters, we calculate \( 4.5\times100 \). When we multiply \( 4.5 \) by 100, we move the decimal point two places to the right, so \( 4.5\times100 = 450 \).

Answer:

450 (corresponding to the option "450")
