You are converting 8 centimeters to meters. How will the

number of meters compare to 8? Explain.

the number of meters is smaller than 8

Step-by-step explanation:

A meter is 100 times the length of a centimeter, so it takes a factor of 100 fewer of them to have the same length.

8 cm = 0.08 m

0.08 is a smaller number than 8. The number of meters is less than the number of centimeters (by a factor of 100).
