Answer:

1.25 cm

Explanation:

Using the original ration of 1 centimeter = 2 meters:


(centimeter)/(meter)=(1)/(2)

You can then use a proportion (equivalent ratios) to find the number of centimeters for 2.5 meters:


(1)/(2)=(x)/(2.5)

Cross-multiply: 2x = 2.5

Divide: 2x/2 = 2.5/2

Solve: x = 1.25 cm
