centi to
deci
step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(centi\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(deci\right)\)
Define the prefix value(s)
\(The \text{ } value \text{ } of \text{ } centi \text{ } is \text{ } 10^{-2}\)
\(The \text{ } value \text{ } of \text{ } deci \text{ } is \text{ } 10^{-1}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(centi\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(deci\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 10^{-2}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 10^{-1}}}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 10^{-2}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 10^{-1}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(10^{-2} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 10^{-1}\)
Cancel factors on both sides
\(\text{Cancel factors}\)
\({\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancelto{10^{-1}}{10^{-2}}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{10^{-1}}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\(10^{-1} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 10^{-1}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 10^{-1}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(centi\right) = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 10^{-1}}\left(deci\right)\)
