How many metres are in one centimetre?

1 Answer

Nov 24, 2016

$1 \cdot m$ $1*m$ $=$ $=$ $10^{2} \cdot c m$ $10^2*cm$ $=$ $=$ $10^{3} \cdot m m$ $10^3*mm$

Explanation:

And thus in $1 metre$ $"1 metre"$ , there are $100 cm$ $"100 cm"$ , and $1000 mm$ $"1000 mm"$ .

The prefix $centi = 10^{- 2}$ $"centi"=10^-2$ , and $millli = 10^{- 3}$ $"millli"=10^-3$ ; $deci = 10^{- 1}$ $"deci"=10^-1$ .

And thus $1 \cdot c m$ $1*cm$ $=$ $=$ $10 \cdot m m$ $10*mm$ $=$ $=$ $0.01 \cdot m$ $0.01*m$ .
