Use the diagram in the box to convert the given measurement to the unit indicated. \[ 18.5 \mathrm{hm} \text { to } \mathrm{m} \] \[ \times 10 \] Multiply by 10 for each step to the right. \[ \mathrm{km} \mathrm{hm}_{\mathrm{m}} \mathrm{dam} \mathrm{m} \mathrm{dm} \mathrm{cm} \mathrm{mm} \] Divide by 10 for each step to the left. $\div 10$ m (Type an integer or a decimal.)

Step 1 ：The question is asking to convert 18.5 hectometers (hm) to meters (m). According to the diagram, we need to move two steps to the right from hectometers to meters. As per the instructions, we need to multiply by 10 for each step to the right.

Step 2 ：Therefore, we need to multiply 18.5 by 10 twice to convert it to meters.

Step 3 ：\(\text{hm} = 18.5\)

Step 4 ：\(\text{m} = 1850.0\)

Step 5 ：Final Answer: The conversion of 18.5 hectometers to meters is \(\boxed{1850}\)
