How many centimeters are in 1 meter?

  1. 10 cm

  2. 100 cm

  3. 1000 cm

  4. 1 cm

The correct answer is: 100 cm

A meter is a standard unit of length in the metric system, equal to 100 centimeters. It is important to remember that when converting from larger units to smaller units (such as meters to centimeters) the number will increase. In option A, 10 cm is equivalent to 0.1 meters, which is incorrect. In option C, 1000 cm is equivalent to 10 meters, which is also incorrect. Option D, 1 cm, is much smaller than 1 meter, thus also incorrect. Option B, 100 cm, is the correct answer as it is equivalent to 1 meter. So, 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters.
