The average length of a great white shark is about 4 meters.
What is the average length in centimeters?
Convert 4 meters to centimeters.
Since 1 meter = 100 centimeters, multiply 4 by 100.
4 × 100 = 400
So, 4 meters = 400 centimeters.
The average length of the great white shark is about 400 centimeters.
