Which of the following correctly states the relationship between hectometers and meters?

1 hectometer equals 100 meters
1 hectometer equals 10 meters
1 hectometer equals 1000 meters
1 hectometer equals 10000 meters

The correct answer is: 1 hectometer equals 100 meters

The relationship between hectometers and meters is based on the metric system, where prefixes indicate specific decimal-based multiples. A hectometer is a unit of length equal to 100 meters. This means when converting between hectometers and meters, you multiply or divide by 100. In this case, stating that 1 hectometer equals 100 meters correctly reflects this relationship. Understanding these metric conversions is crucial, as it lays the foundation for more complex calculations in measurements, particularly in education and scientific contexts. Moreover, being familiar with common metric prefixes can help avoid confusion in various applications involving measurement conversions.
