Answer:
In metric prefixes, if a meter were divided into 100 equal-sized subunits, a single unit would be called a centimeter.
Explanation:
Here we asked to divide 1 meter in to 100 equal parts.
Let us find out what is the length of piece when 1 m is divided in to 100 equal parts.
Length
[tex]l = \frac{1}{100} = 0.01m[/tex]
That is length of 1 m divided into 100 equal parts is 0.01m.
We know that 0.01 m is 1 centimeter.
So, in metric prefixes, if a meter were divided into 100 equal-sized subunits, a single unit would be called a centimeter.
