question 8 (1 point) saved listen there are ___ centimeters in one meter. a) 0.1 b) 100 c) 10 d) 1000 e) 0.01

Explanation:

To determine the number of centimeters in one meter, we use the metric system conversion. The prefix "centi-" means one - hundredth, but when converting meters to centimeters, we know that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters because 1 centimeter is $1\times10^{- 2}$ meters, so to find out how many centimeters are in 1 meter, we do the calculation $1\div(1\times10^{-2})=100$.

Answer:

b) 100
