How many centimeters are equal to 1 meter?

How many centimeters are equal to 1 meter?

The correct answer is: $100\text{ cm}$

Explanation

The prefix centi- means one hundredth, so one centimeter is $0.01$ meters.

Steps:

  1. By definition: $1\text{ cm} = 0.01\text{ m}$
  2. Multiply both sides by $100$: $$100\text{ cm} = 1\text{ m}$$
  3. Rearranging: $$1\text{ m} = 100\text{ cm}$$

Therefore, 1 meter equals 100 centimeters.
