Convert centi to hecto

Learn how to convert 1 centi to hecto step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c e n t i) = x (h e c t o)

Define the prefix value(s)

T h e v a l u e o f c e n t i i s 10^{- 2}

T h e v a l u e o f h e c t o i s 10^{2}

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c e n t i) = x (h e c t o)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 10^{2}

Or

1.0 \cdot 10^{- 2} = x \cdot 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

10^{- 2} = x \times 10^{2}

Switch sides

x \times 10^{2} = 10^{- 2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{10^{2}})

x \times 10^{2} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{2}} = 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{2}}

Cancel

x \times 10^{2} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{2}} = 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{2}}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{- 2}}{10^{2}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{2}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 2}

Rewrite

x = 10^{- 2} \times 10^{- 2}

Simplify

x = 10^{- 4}

Solve

x

x = 10^{- 4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c e n t i) = 10^{- 4} (h e c t o)
