To convert centimeters to meters, you need to understand the relationship between the two units. Specifically, 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters.
Given the problem:
[tex]\[
234 \text{ cm} = [?] \text{ m}
\][/tex]
To find out how many meters are equivalent to 234 centimeters, you simply divide the number of centimeters by 100, since there are 100 centimeters in a meter.
[tex]\[
\text{Meters} = \frac{\text{Centimeters}}{100}
\][/tex]
Plugging in our value:
[tex]\[
\text{Meters} = \frac{234 \text{ cm}}{100}
\][/tex]
When you perform the division, you get:
[tex]\[
\text{Meters} = 2.34 \text{ m}
\][/tex]
So, 234 centimeters is equal to 2.34 meters.
