The picnic blanket is equals to 1 meter
an ant length is equals to 1 centimeter
now, let’s find the number of ants in total in order to fit end to end across the length of the picnic blanket.

1 centimeter is equals to 0.01 meters. And in 1 meter there is a total of 100 centimeter
=> 0.01m x 100 = 100cm
Therefore, it needs a total of 100 ants that measures 1cm each in order to fill the blanket that measures 1m from end to end.
