You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1 metre = 100 centimeters
7 meters = 7*100 centrimeters
7 meters = 700 centimeters
Goal is 700 centimeters wide.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! To convert from meters to centimeters, you move the decimal 2 places to the right, so 7.00 m becomes 700 cm.

Near the bottom of my Homepage, look for the link called "Topics from Geometry" and then the page called "Metric Sytem", in which I showed you how very simple it is to convert within the metric sytem.
