Question

What portion (division) of a meter stick is a centimeter?

Answer 1

A meter is 100 meters. So a hundredth of a meter stick is a centimeter.

Answer 2

`(1)/(100)`

Step-by-step explanation:

A meter stick is a tool used to measure length and distances. We know that one meter is equal to 100cm.

So,

100 cm = 1 meter

1 cm =
`(1)/(100)` meter

Thus we can see that one hundredth of a meter stick is one centimeter.

The centimeter scale can be used to measure smaller lengths.
