Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Now, 100 centimeters equal to 1 meter or one centimeter equal to one-hundredth (i.e. 1/100 th) of meter. Meters are denoted by m, whereas centimeters are denoted by cm.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each meter (m) is divided into 100 equal divisions, called centimetre (cm) ie; 1m=100cm. Hence, 1m=100cm .
Detailed explanation-3: -When we divide meters into smaller units, we make some exceptions to that rule of thumb: 1 centimeter (cm, “centi” means 1/100th) is 1/100th of a meter, which means that there are 100 cm in every 1 m. A decimeter is a tenth of a meter and there are 10 dm in 1 m.
Detailed explanation-4: -For instance, one mm is equivalent to 0.1 cm. However, one cm is equal to 10 mm.
