Answer 1

Answer:

In metric prefixes, if a meter were divided into 100 equal-sized subunits, a single unit would be called a centimeter.

Explanation:

Here we asked to divide 1 meter in to 100 equal parts.

Let us find out what is the length of piece when 1 m is divided in to 100 equal parts.

Length

$l = \frac{1}{100} = 0.01m$

That is length of 1 m divided into 100 equal parts is 0.01m.

We know that 0.01 m is 1 centimeter.

So, in metric prefixes, if a meter were divided into 100 equal-sized subunits, a single unit would be called a centimeter.
