One hundred years | one hundred | 100

A century is defined as a period of exactly 100 years.

What to watch: The key word is "century." A century is "one hundred years" long. Say "one hundred" or "a hundred years." Avoid "ten," which is a decade, and avoid "one thousand" as well.

## Hints

- Think about the prefix 'cent-', which is commonly used in words like 'centimeter' or 'percent'.
- Consider how many cents are in one dollar.
