Known: 1 metre is the same length as 100 centimetres

1 metres = 100 centimetres

However, we need 5 meters, thus we must convert 1 meters to 5 meters.
What you do to one side of a multiply or divide also happens to the other.Multiply 5 to each side.

5 \times 1 metres = 5 \times 100 centimetres

5 metres = 500 centimetres
