convert 88.4 cm to m.
○ 8.84 m
○ 884 m
○ 0.884 m
○ 88.4 m

Explanation:

Step1: Recall unit conversion factor

We know that \(1\space m = 100\space cm\), so to convert centimeters to meters, we divide by 100.

Step2: Perform the conversion

To convert \(88.4\space cm\) to meters, we use the formula: \( \text{Length in meters} = \frac{\text{Length in centimeters}}{100} \)
Substituting the value, we get \( \frac{88.4}{100} = 0.884\space m \)

Answer:

0.884 m (corresponding to the option "0.884 m")
