#81.3# centimeters converts to #0.813# meters.

Explanation:

This is because #"1 meter"# is equal to #"100 cm"#.

So let's say that we need to convert #50# cm into meters. The best way to tackle the problem would be to divide the desired amount of cm by how many centimeters are in a meter.

#"50 cm"/"100 cm/1 m" = "0.5 m"#

If we apply the same concept to your problem:

#"81.3 cm"/"100 cm/1 m" = "0.813 m"#
