Everything is based on ten. Uniform unit prefixes all based on a meter.
sometimes decimeter, sometimes centimeter(if it measures mm)
It depends. If the division is wider than an ordinary pencil then it is a centimetre. If it is much narrower than that then it is a millimetre.

1- a meter stick is like a giant ruler (it measures i meter)
100/01=o
it has 100 cetmeters in a meter
1 metre = 100 centimetres. Therefore, one centimetre is one over 100 of a metre (1/100th).
millimeter
1/1000
A typical meter stick has 100 numbered spaces, representing each centimeter from 0 to 100.
Everything is based on ten. Uniform unit prefixes all based on a meter.
A typical meter stick is 1000 millimeters long. This is because there are 1000 millimeters in one meter, making it a consistent conversion.
sometimes decimeter, sometimes centimeter(if it measures mm)
There are 40 millimeters between 47 and 51 on a meter stick. Each centimeter on a meter stick contains 10 millimeters, so the difference between 47 and 51 is 4 centimeters, which is equivalent to 40 millimeters.
1/100
A meter stick is typically subdivided into centimeters, with each centimeter further divided into millimeters. This allows for more precise measurements to be made using the meter stick.
