If the nails dimensions were expressed in meters, we would have to divide it by 100.
In earlier times there were 3 main types of measurement systems:
1.The CGS system(centimetre, gram and second)
2.• The FPS system( foot, pound and second)
3.• The MKS system(metre, kilogram and second)
But in the present day, we use Système Internationale d’ Unites (French for International System of Units), abbreviated as SI.
The SI Unit of length is meter, but in many cases the length is given in centimeters.
So, we have to convert the value given in centimeter to meter by using the conversion factor which is,
1 meter = 100 centimeters
1 cm = 1/100 meter
Therefore, if the nails dimensions were expressed in meters, we would have to divide it by 100.
