Dekameter, one dekameter is equal to 100 meters. Deca is the prefix for 10, one decametre is ten metres, one decalitre is ten litres. Having lived for over forty years in a metric country I have never seen it used in real life. Similarly deci for a tenth, and hecto for one hundred are never used. Centi for one hundredth is only used for centimetres, except for some wine bottles which use centilitres.
By unit of length and distance and conversion ,we can say that 1 km=100 dam kilometer >dam The kilo- prefix means one thousand: 1000 The deca- prefix means ten: 10 1000 > 10 → kilo- > deca- → kilometer is greater than decameter
Prefixes are used with the names of the base units to indicate the multiple of ten that is being used in the base unit.
