Method #1:

Multiply 3.5 cm by (1 m/100 cm) to get

(3.5 cm)*(1 m/100 cm) = 3.5/100 m = 0.035 m
-------------------------------------------------------

Method #2:

100 cm = 1 m

1 cm = 1/100 m

1 cm = 0.01 m

3.5*1 cm = 3.5*0.01 m

3.5 cm = 0.035 m

which is the same answer.

How do you use a unit multiplier to convert 3.5 centimeters to meters?
-------
1 meter = 100 cm
So, (1 meter/100 cm) = 1 unit
-----------------------------------
3.5 cm[1 meter/100cm] = (3.5*1)/(1*100)(meters)
---
= (3.5/100)meters
---
= 0.035 meters
