milli- represents thousandths so 2 of them is one-five-hundredth.
Centimetre gets its name from the Latin word for 100, being one-hundredth of a metre. Cf "milli", one thousandth and "deci", one-tenth.
There are 10 millimeters (mm) in a centimeter (cm). 'Centi' prefix means one one-hundredth, while 'milli' prefix means one one-thousandth. Therefore, a centimeter is one one-hundredth of a meter while a millimeter is one one-thousandth of one.
Since milli- means one thousandth, centi- means one hundredth and deci- means one tenth, a decimetre is exactly one tenth of a metre. (It is also ten centimetres and also one hundred millimetres.)
The common prefix for one hundredth is centi. For example, one hundredth of a metre is one centimetre. One hundredth of a gram is one centigram.
Centi- = one hundredth Milli- = one thousandth Micro- = one millionth
A millimetere os one tenth of a centimetre so 160mm is 16cm. the reason it is milli-metre is because 'milli' is one millionth so it is one millionth of a metre thus forming millimetre a centimetre is one one hundredth of a metre 'centi' being the word of a hundredth
milli- represents thousandths so 2 of them is one-five-hundredth.
denci is not an SI prefix. centi = 0.01 or one hundredth kilo = 1000 = thousand milli = 0.001 = one thousandth.
Centi means one-hundredth, like deci means one-tenth and milli means one-thousandth.

No, one millimeter is one thousandth of a meter. To convert millimeters to meters, you need to divide by 1000.
centi means one hundredth (1/100) milli is 1 thousandth (1/1000) therefore centilitre is 10 times larger than millilitre
milli-million one
Since milli- means one thousandth, centi- means one hundredth and deci- means one tenth, a decimetre is exactly one tenth of a metre. (It is also ten centimetres and also one hundred millimetres.)
