I feel like metric people just use Meter, Centimeter, and Millimeter the same way and wouldn’t change the decimal. They know how big the three are just like US people know Yard, Foot, Inch.
That string is about 10 centimeters long. Not many would describe it as .1 meter. It’s about 4 inches or 1/3 of a foot.
Metric ton is a megagram. A US ton is .907 megagrams. UK ton is 1.016 megagrams
