The easiest way is to multiply or divide by ten depending on which way your going. If it's getting smaller on the example below (going to the right) multiply. If it's going to the left, or getting larger, divide.
1.kilometer, 2.hectometer, 3.dekameter, 4.meter, 5.decimeter, 6.centimeter, 7.millimeter
1. 1000, 2. 100, 3. 10, 4. 1, 5. .1, 6. .01, 7. .001,
1. thousand, 2. hundred, 3. ten, 4. one, 5. one tenth, 6. one hundreth, 7. one thousanth
To convert to meters, x10-2 for centimeters and x10-1 for decimeters.
1 centimeter = 0.1 decimeters
a decimeter is 10 centimeters a cubic decimeter is 1000 cubic centimeters 325 cubic centimeters = 325 /1000 cubic decimeters = 0.325 cubic decimeters
If that's a rectangular block, just multiply the three numbers. The volume, of course, will be in cubic centimeters. If you first convert the sizes to decimeters, the answer will be in cubic centimeters, which is the same as liters. If you first convert the sizes to meters, the answer will be in cubic meters.
ill first convert them all to meters 2 meters = 2m 100 centimeters = 1m 4 decimeters = .4m 3 kilometers = 3000m therefore... 4 decimeters, 100 centimeters, 2 meters, 3 kilometers.
To convert to meters, x10-2 for centimeters and x10-1 for decimeters.
You divide centimetres by 10 So 5cm = 0.5dm
1 centimeter = 0.1 decimeters
Ten decimeters to the meter.
Meters are greater.
1 decimeter is 10 centimeters. 20 decimeters are 200 centimeters or 2 meters.
6 decimeters is 60 centimeters.
200 decimeters is larger because if you convert it into centimeters, it equals 2,000 centimeters and 200 centimeters converted into decimeters equals 20 decimeters

20 decimeters= 200 meters. 2 meters= 2 meters.
