Conversion formula
The conversion factor from meters to centimeters is 100, which means that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters:
1 m = 100 cm
To convert 48 meters into centimeters we have to multiply 48 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from meters to centimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 m → 100 cm
48 m → L(cm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in centimeters:
L(cm) = 48 m × 100 cm
L(cm) = 4800 cm
The final result is:
48 m → 4800 cm
We conclude that 48 meters is equivalent to 4800 centimeters:
48 meters = 4800 centimeters
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 centimeter is equal to 0.00020833333333333 × 48 meters.
