Conversion formula
The conversion factor from centimeters to meters is 0.01, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 0.01 meters:
1 cm = 0.01 m
To convert 3.5 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 3.5 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 cm → 0.01 m
3.5 cm → L(m)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in meters:
L(m) = 3.5 cm × 0.01 m
L(m) = 0.035 m
The final result is:
3.5 cm → 0.035 m
We conclude that 3.5 centimeters is equivalent to 0.035 meters:
3.5 centimeters = 0.035 meters
