Understand the relationship between meters and decimeters. Both are units of length in the metric system, where 1 meter is the base unit.
Recall the metric prefixes: 'deci-' means one-tenth (1/10) of the base unit. Therefore, 1 decimeter (dm) is equal to 0.1 meters (m).
To find how many decimeters are in 1 meter, set up the conversion using the relationship: 1 dm = 0.1 m.
Express the conversion as an equation: Number of decimeters = \( \frac{1 \text{ meter}}{0.1 \text{ meter per decimeter}} \).
Calculate the division to find the number of decimeters in 1 meter, which will give you the answer.
