Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that metric prefixes represent specific powers of ten as multipliers for units.
Recall that the prefix 'deci' corresponds to a multiplier of \$10^{-1}$, which is equal to 0.1.
Recognize that 'centi' corresponds to \$10^{-2}\( (0.01), 'milli' corresponds to \)10^{-3}\( (0.001), and 'micro' corresponds to \)10^{-6}$ (0.000001).
Match the given multiplier 0.1 to the correct prefix by comparing it to these powers of ten.
Conclude that the prefix corresponding to 0.1 is 'deci'.
