1000, of course, as 1000 ×0,01 = 10.

Greek "δέκα" means "ten", and Greek prefixes indicate multiples of units; hence 1 dekameter = 10 m. Latin prefixes indicate fractions of units; hence 1 cm (from Latin "centum", meaning "one hundred") contains 0,01 m.

Note that 1 decimeter (from Latin "decem", meaning "ten") contains 10 cm, as you can easily verify, after these preliminaries.
