      Prefixes aren’t specific to individual units, the beauty is it still means 1/100 no matter if you’re talking about length, weight, mass, volume, voltage, magnetic flux… go nuts.

      (This being said, tens and hundreds are rarer for most units. Centiliter for drinks and centimeters for e.g. someone’s height are common)
