Milli is a prefix that means one-thousandth, deci is a prefix meaning one-tenth, and kilo is a prefix meaning one thousand. A meter is 39.37 inches; therefore a millimeter is a small measurement (about 0.04 in), the decimeter is not a term used very often (3.937 in) and the kilometer is a measurement over a half mile(about 0.62 miles).

How much is 1.5 ml in liters?
Remember K H D | d c m (kilo, hecto, deka, (liter, meter, gram), deci, centi, milli). Milliliters are three places to the right of liters. So you have to move the decimal place three times to the right. You will get 1.5 L = 1,500 mL.
What do the important prefixes of the metric system mean?
In the metric systems, unlike other systems, there is only one unit for each measurement; e.g the only unit for length is the metre. For lengths much longer, or shorter, lengths we use prefixes to indicate the fraction or multiple of the metre. For short lengths the fractions are thousandths, millionths, billionths; for which the prefixes are milli-, micro-, and nano-. For longer lengths, the multiples are thousands, millions, and billions; for which the prefixes are kilo-, mega-, and giga-. The prefixes indicate the fraction,or the multiple of the base unit.
How much is 8 liters in millimeters?
Remember K H D | d c m (kilo, hecto, deka, (liter, meter, gram), deci, centi, milli). Milliliters are three places to the right of liters. So you have to move the decimal place three times to the right. You will get 8 L = 8000 mL.
How many times larger is a centigram than a decagram?
These are SI units using standard prefixes. The interpretation of common prefixes is as follows: kilo = 1000 hecto = 100 deca = 10 deci = 0.1 centi = 0.01 milli = 0.001 Therefore, 1 centigram is 0.01 grams and 1 decagram is 10 grams. A decagram is 1000 times larger than a centigram.

How much is 25 centimeters in millimeters?
Remember K H D | d c m (kilo, hecto, deka, (liter, meter, gram), deci, centi, milli). Millimeters are one place to the right of centimeters. So you have to move the decimal place once to the right. You will get 25 cm = 250 mm.
How much centimeters are in two decimeters?
Remember K H D | d c m (kilo, hecto, deka, (liter, meter, gram), deci, centi, milli). Centimeters are one place to the right of decimeters. So you have to move the decimal place once to the right. You will get 2 dm = 20 cm.
9 milliliters is how much is liters?
Remember K H D | d c m (kilo, hecto, deka, (liter, meter, gram), deci, centi, milli). Liters are three places to the left of milliliters. So you have to move the decimal place three times to the left. You will get 9 mL = .009 L.
How much is milli-?
The prefix "milli-" means 1000th. A millimeter is 1000th of a meter.
How much liter is 5 liters?
Remember K H D | d c m (kilo, hecto, deka, (liter, meter, gram), deci, centi, milli). Milliliters are three places to the right of liters. So you have to move the decimal place three times to the right. You will get 5 L = 5,000 mL.
If you have 1.50 liters of water how much milliliters would it be?
Remember K H D | d c m (kilo, hecto, deka, (liter, meter, gram), deci, centi, milli). Milliliters are three places to the right of liters. So you have to move the decimal place three times to the right. You will get 1.50 L = 1,500 mL.

How much is 1.5 ml in liters?
Remember K H D | d c m (kilo, hecto, deka, (liter, meter, gram), deci, centi, milli). Milliliters are three places to the right of liters. So you have to move the decimal place three times to the right. You will get 1.5 L = 1,500 mL.
How much is 3.5 liters in Milliliters?
Remember K H D | d c m (kilo, hecto, deka, (liter, meter, gram), deci, centi, milli). Milliliters are three places to the right of liters. So you have to move the decimal place three times to the right. You will get 3.5 L = 3500 mL.
How much kilograms are in 484 grams?
Remember K H D | d c m (kilo, hecto, deka, (liter, meter, gram), deci, centi, milli). These are the denominations you need to list when converting metric units. Kilograms are three places to the left of grams. So you have to move the decimal place three times to the left (same as dividing by 1000). You will get 484 g = .484 kg.
