Question: 1 / 400

What unit of measurement is equivalent to 1/100 meter?

Millimeter (mm)

Centimeter (cm)

1/100 of a meter is known as a centimeter. The metric system is based on powers of ten, making conversions straightforward. Specifically, 1 meter is divided into 100 equal parts, each of which is one centimeter. This systematic structure underlies the metric system's ease of use.

Millimeters are smaller than centimeters, as there are 10 millimeters in a centimeter. An inch and a foot are units of measurement commonly used in the imperial system and do not have a direct relation to metric units in terms of fractions of a meter. Thus, the equivalent measurement for 1/100 of a meter is precisely defined as one centimeter.
