Method 1: Moving the decimal place

To convert meters to centimetres, simply move the decimal point over to the right. With 7.85, after the decimal makes two moves to the right, it is 785.0

7.85 meters is 785 centimetres.

Method 2: Multiply by 100
Another way to convert metres to centimetres is by multiplying the metres by 100.

7.85 x 100 = 785

7.85 metres is 785 centimetres.
