Length Units: Converting measurements

To solve the problem of converting meters to centimeters, we apply the following steps:

• Step 1: Identify the given value, which is 0.6 meters.
• Step 2: Use the conversion factor between meters and centimeters. There are 100 centimeters in one meter, so the formula is $\text{centimeters} = \text{meters} \times 100$.
• Step 3: Multiply 0.6 meters by 100 to convert it to centimeters.

Let's carry out the calculation:
0.6 meters $\times$ 100 = 60 centimeters.

Therefore, the conversion of 0.6 meters to centimeters is $60$ centimeters.

To solve this problem, let's convert the measurement from centimeters to meters by following these steps:

• Identify the given measurement: $40$ cm.
• Recall the conversion factor: $1$ meter = $100$ centimeters.
• Apply the conversion factor to convert $40$ cm into meters by dividing by $100$:
  $\frac{40}{100} = 0.4$ meters.

This calculation shows that $40$ cm is equivalent to $0.4$ meters.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $0.4$.
