How many centimeters are equivalent to one meter?

100 centimeters
10 centimeters
1000 centimeters
1 centimeter

The correct answer is: 100 centimeters

One meter is equivalent to 100 centimeters because the metric system is based on powers of ten, making conversions straightforward. Specifically, the prefix "centi-" denotes one hundredth (1/100), which means that there are 100 centimeters in one meter. This relationship is fundamental in metric conversions, allowing for easy scaling between different units. Understanding this helps in various scientific calculations and measurements where precision in unit conversions is essential.
