Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 poise to centipoise, we multiply by 100 because one poise equals exactly 100 centipoise.
1 poise = 100 centipoise
Since each poise contains 100 centipoise, we multiply our value by this factor:
1 × 100 = 100 centipoise
So 1 poise = 100 centipoise.
Quick check: 100 ÷ 100 = 1 poise
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 P = 100 cP
1 × 100 = 100
1 × 100 = 100
Example 2: 5 P = 500 cP
5 × 100 = 500
5 × 100 = 500
Example 3: 10 P = 1000 cP
10 × 100 = 1000
10 × 100 = 1000
