What portion (division) of a meter stick is a centimeter?
Answer
\(\frac{1}{100}\)
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 = \(\frac{1}{100}\) 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.
