i think its deci not for sure tho * * * * * No. Deci is the prefix for a hundredth. Hecto is the correct answer.
The prefix "centi-" is used to signify that a unit is 100 times smaller than the SI unit without a prefix. This means the value should be divided by 100.
The basic prefixes deci, centi and milli decrease by powers of ten and deca, hecto and kilo increase by powers of ten.
The chart for prefexes in science ( basic science as far as I know) are as follows: Milli(1/1000)-Centi(1/100)-Base Unit(1)-Deci(10)-Killi(1000) I think there are more beyond below and between but thats all I can remember and should be sufficient for your purposes.
The prefix that means ten times the unit is "deca-." It is commonly used in the metric system to denote a factor of ten.
