A room plan uses scale 1:100. A sofa is 2.4 metres long in reality. How long is it on the plan? Enter the number of centimetres.

The real length is 240 centimetres, and dividing by 100 gives a plan length of 2.4 centimetres. Dividing 2.4 metres directly by 100 and then labelling the result as centimetres would create a hundredfold unit error.
