a picnic blanket is 1 meter across.an ant is 1 centimeter in length.how many ants of the same length would fit end to end across the length of the picnic blanket
Since the prefix "centi" means hundredth, we can assume one ant is going to take up one hundredth of the length. Since multiplying anything by 1 (e.g. 2 * 1 = 2) equals that number, we can "multiply" 100 by 1 to get 100
