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"
