How many decimeters in a meter?

Answer 1

1m = 10 dm

There are 10 decimeters in one meter.

In the metric system a prefix is used to specify a multiple of the unit:

Mega- (M) = million

kilo- (k) = 1000

hecto- (h) = 100

deca- (da) = 10

<base unit> = 1

deci- (d) = 1/10

centi- (c) = 1/100

milli- (m) = 1/1000

micro- (µ) = 1 millionth.

Answer 2

10. A meter = 100 centimeters. A decimeter = 10 centimeters.
