The Celsius scale is also known as the centigrade scale because it is divided into 100 equal intervals (centi- meaning 100). This scale was originally developed with 0 representing the freezing point of water and 100 representing the boiling point of water at sea level.
That depends on what type of unit you are talking about (such as length, mass, time, etc.); but generally, a base unit is used (for instance, the meter for length), then prefixes (such as kilo, mega, Giga, Tera..., milli, micro, nano, pico...) are attached to create larger and smaller derived units.
Kilo is a prefix for metric measurements that's used to determine how much of something. It equals 1000 times its base unit (so 1 kilogram = 1000 kilograms, 1 kiloliter = 1000 liters). It is sometimes called a prefix multiplier (like milli, centi, deca, mega, giga). I think what you're looking for is the meaning when people say that weighs a kilo. A kilo, by itself, usually refers to a kilogram (1000 grams).
Remember K H D | d c m (kilo, hecto, deka, (liter, meter, gram), deci, centi, milli). Liters are three places to the left of milliliters. So you have to move the decimal place three times to the left. You will get 160 mL = .16 L.
The prefix that stands for 100 is centi. You can use century to remember, as a century is 100 years long.
"centi."Centi- as in centimetre, centilitre, even century.

To convert centi minutes to minutes, you need to divide the centi minutes value by 100. This is because "centi" means one hundredth. So, if you have 100 centi minutes, you would divide by 100 to get 1 minute. For example, if you have 250 centi minutes, you would divide 250 by 100 to get 2.5 minutes.
centi means hundredths here -- a centi meter is one-hundredth of a meter; there are 100 centimeters is a meter. Compare one cent which is one-hundredth of a dollar; 100 cents is a dollar.
centimeter centi= 100
