Here's a hint: there are 100 centimetres in a metre, since "centi-" means "one-one-hundredth".

A centi meter is one hundredth of a meter (1/100)
That's the beauty of the decimal system: it's very easy and logical:
mili = 1/1000
centi = 1/100
deci = 1/10
By the way, a cubic centimeter (a cube with sides = 1 cm) is exactly one mililiter in volume (1/1000 of a liter).

100 cm = 1 m. so .01 of a meter is 1 cm.

"Centi" is derived from Latin and means 1/100th of something. Therefore, 1 centimeter (cm) is 1/100th of 1 meter; 100cm = 1m.
