To convert 380 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 380 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

380 cm → L_(m)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in meters:

L_(m) = 380 cm × 0.01 m

L_(m) = 3.8 m

The final result is:

380 cm → 3.8 m

We conclude that 380 centimeters is equivalent to 3.8 meters:

380 centimeters = 3.8 meters
