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 550 meters into centimeters we have to multiply 550 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
550 m → L(cm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in centimeters:
L(cm) = 550 m × 100 cm
L(cm) = 55000 cm
The final result is:
550 m → 55000 cm
We conclude that 550 meters is equivalent to 55000 centimeters:
550 meters = 55000 centimeters
