Decimetre
A decimetre is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one tenth of a metre, the SI base unit of length. In simple words, there are 10 decimetres in a metre. It can be written in scientific notations as 100×10^−3 m or 1 E-1 m — meaning 100 × 1 mm or 1 m / 10 respectively. The c is pronounced as /s/, unlike in decametre. The non-SI unit for volume, the litre, is defined as one cubic decimetre.
