Answer:

The meter is the international system unit of length, here there are some conversions:

  • 1km = 1000 meters
  • 1 hm = 100 meters
  • 1 dam = 10 meters
  • 1 m = 10 dm
  • 1 m = 100 cm
  • 1m = 1000 mm

So we know 100 cm are equal to 1 meter and we have to pass the 884800 centimeters to meters.

If 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, to pass from meters to centimeters we multiply by 100 and from centimeters to meters we divide by 100.

In this case, we need to pass from cm to m, so we divide by 100 the altitude:

884800/100 = 8848 meters
