The SI prefix centi- indicates 1 _____. A. hundred B. thousand C. hundredth D. thousandth

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Hundredth

Explanation:

• The SI prefix cent-indicates one-hundredth.
• In measurements, prefixes are added to units of measurements such as meters and grams to show their sub-divisions and multiples.
• The SI prefixes include words such as kilo-, hecta-, deca-, to mean 1000, 100 and 10 respectively.
• Therefore, for SI unit meter, we could have multiples such as kilometer(1000 meter), decameter( 10 meters), and hectometer(100 meters).
• Other prefixes are milli-, centi-, and deci to mean one-thousandth, one-hundredth, and one-tenth.
• For example, for a unit in grams, we could have sub-divisions such as milligram(0.001gram), centigram (0.01 gram) and decigram (0.1 gram).
