To express 32 cm as a fraction of 2 meters, first convert both units to the same measurement. Since 1 meter equals 100 centimeters, 2 meters is:

\[
2 \, \text{m} = 2 \times 100 \, \text{cm} = 200 \, \text{cm}
\]

Now, express 32 cm as a fraction of 200 cm:

\[
\frac{32}{200}
\]

Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 8:

\[
\frac{32 \div 8}{200 \div 8} = \frac{4}{25}
\]

Thus, 32 cm is \(\frac{4}{25}\) of 2 meters.
