Final answer:

The piece of wood is now 0.8 meters long after sawing off 0.1 meter from its original length of 0.9 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The carpenter started with a piece of wood that was 0.9 meters long and sawed off 0.1 meter from the end. To find the remaining length of the wood, we subtract the length sawed off from the original length: 0.9 m - 0.1 m = 0.8 m. Therefore, the piece of wood is now 0.8 meters long.

Regarding the measurement question with a meter stick and needing a 200-centimeter piece, since 1 meter equals 100 centimeters, two meter sticks end to end would equal 200 centimeters, enabling the comparison for the required measurement.
