How many centimetres in 5 and a half meters?

There are 100 centimeters in one meter. Therefore, to convert 5 meters to centimeters, you would multiply 5 by 100, which equals 500 centimeters. Since you also have half a meter, which is 50 centimeters (half of 100), the total length in centimeters would be 500 + 50 = 550 centimeters.
