Answer:

1 cm = 100 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The conversion factor to go from cm to m is

1 cm = 0.01 m or

1 m = 100 cm

Additionally, the conversion factor from km to m and from dm to m is:

1 km = 1000 m

1 dm = 0.01 m or 1 m = 10 dm

Therefore, the incorrect conversion factor is:

1 cm = 100 m

Because 1 cm is smaller than 1 m
