A meter stick is 100cm, therefore 20 pencils would fit on a meter stick.

Yes, you can. You can place a large number of identical pencils end to end and measure their combined length using a metre stick. Then simply divide by the number of pencils and you will have your answer.

If it is a new meter stick you can place it at the end of the stick, otherwise if it is old or shows some wear you should measure from the 1 centimeter mark and then subtract one centimeter from the answer.
1 metre = 100 centimetres. Therefore, one centimetre is one over 100 of a metre (1/100th).
If it has centimeter and millimeter markings .... One. You could measure something like 35 centimeters and 6 millimeters, which would be 35.6 in numbers. Reading anything shorter than a mm on a meter stick is guesswork.
