10 decimeters = 1 meter


Answer:

d. 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets looks at conversions used in the metric system to determine what number it is based on.

1 m =10 cm = 1000 mm

1 kg = 1000 g

1 km = 1000 m

There are more examples but to determine metric units you will use a 1 to a  certain conversion factor to determine the correct amount in metric units.

Therefore the metric system is based on the number 1 to convert a certain unit of measurement.
