A student wishes to convert from cm to m. To do this they need to move the decimal point:
A
3 spaces to the right
B
3 spaces to the left
C
2 spaces to the right
D
2 spaces to the left
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -How to convert centimeters to meters? To convert centimeters to meters, multiply the given centimeter value by 0.01 meters. For example, to convert 17 cm to m, multiply 17 by 0.01, we get 0.17 meters.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are 100 centimeters in every meter, which means that dividing your measurement in centimeters by 100 will convert it to meters. You can make this conversion quick and easy by simply moving the decimal point in your measurement 2 spaces (or “place values”) to the left.

Detailed explanation-3: -To convert to meters, we divide by 100 or move the decimal point two places to the left.

Detailed explanation-4: -100 1 meter (m) deci. d. 10-1 1/10. 1 decimeter (dm) = 0.1 m. centi. c. 10-2 1/100. 1 centimeter (cm) = 0.01 m. milli. m. 10-3 1/1000. 1 millimeter (mm) = 0.001 m. micro. 10-6 1/1, 000, 000. 1 micrometer (m) = 10-6 m. nano. n. 10-9 1/1, 000, 000, 000. 1 nanometer (nm) = 10-9 m. pico. p. 10-12 1/1, 000, 000, 000, 000. 1 picometer (pm) = 10-12 m. 25-Oct-2021
