The prefix "centi" corresponds to which of the following values?

One-tenth
One-hundredth
One-thousandth
One-millionth

The correct answer is: One-hundredth

The prefix "centi" designates a value of one-hundredth, which is represented as 0.01 in decimal form. This prefix is commonly used in the metric system to denote a measurement that is one hundred times smaller than the base unit. For example, one centimeter is equal to one-hundredth of a meter. Understanding metric prefixes is crucial in fields such as physics and ultrasound, where precise measurements are important. By knowing that "centi" corresponds to one-hundredth, you can effectively convert between units and comprehend the scale of measurements you may encounter in clinical settings and laboratory work.
