Question

A distance of one centimeter is the same as
A~100 m
B~ 10 m
C~ .01 m
D~1000 m

Answer 1

This is what you have to remember... to convert to the base Length unit m

\[\frac{ 10^{-2} ~m}{ 1~cm }\]

Answer 2

= 1

Answer 3

A Centi-meter is 2 orders of magnitude smaller than a meter.. 10^-2

\[\frac{ 1~cm }{ 1 }*\frac{ 10^{-2}~m }{ 1~cm } = \frac{ 10^{-2} ~m }{ 1 }\]

Answer 4

If you have to convert units, first go to the base unit, then convert to the one you want, at least that is the way i do it (least to memorize)... good luck
