To convert 510 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 510 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
510 cm → L(m)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in meters:
L(m) = 510 cm × 0.01 m
L(m) = 5.1 m
The final result is:
510 cm → 5.1 m
We conclude that 510 centimeters is equivalent to 5.1 meters:
