cm = meters × 100
meters = cm ÷ 100
// Example 1: Type "1.75" in meters
cm = 1.75 × 100 = 175
// Example 2: Type "200" in centimeters
meters = 200 ÷ 100 = 2
cm = meters × 100
meters = cm ÷ 100
// Example 1: Type "1.75" in meters
cm = 1.75 × 100 = 175
// Example 2: Type "200" in centimeters
meters = 200 ÷ 100 = 2
