Let's practise using one such site.
- Click here to go to an online conversion website.

Scroll down until you come to the Length Conversion.
- Enter the quantity (amount) that you want to convert. For this example, let's try 25.
- Let's convert FROM centimetres (scroll down until you find centimetre/s [cm]) TO metres (scroll down until you find metre/s [m])
- Click on the "Convert Length" button.
- What is the answer?
Did you get 0.25 metres? That is correct!
