To convert meters to centimeters, you need to know the basic relationship between these two units of measurement. Specifically, 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters.
Let's break down the steps:
1. Identify the given measurement in meters: We are given 1.45 meters.
2. Use the conversion factor: To convert meters to centimeters, you multiply the number of meters by 100, since there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.
3. Perform the multiplication:
[tex]\[ 1.45 \, \text{meters} \times 100 \, \text{cm/meter} = 145 \, \text{cm} \][/tex]
So, 1.45 meters is equal to 145 centimeters.
