Determine the power of ten corresponding to each unit. If the new power of ten is higher, you move the decimal point to the left; if it is lower, you move the decimal point to the right. The difference between the powers of ten tells you how many places to move the decimal point.
Kilograms are a unit of weight in the Metric System. Meters are units of distance in the Metric System. There can no more be a formula for converting kilograms to meters then there could be converting pounds into yards.
The decimal point moves to the left.
There isn't any one general answer. It depends on what unit you want to convert to what other unit.
The answer to that one is going to depend on two things:-- what unit you are converting from-- what unit you are converting to
The metric unit of length is the metre. The only multiple in general use is the kilometre. There are as many other multiples as you would wish.
Yes. For example, 100 grams = 0.1 kilograms

No, centimeters and other --meters are the metric system.
The metric unit is a millilitre. The metric unit is a millilitre. The metric unit is a millilitre. The metric unit is a millilitre.

False - when converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit there will be more of them so you must multiply. What you multiply by depends upon the units, for example converting feet to inches you multiply by 12; converting pounds to ounces you multiply by 16. It is only with the metric system of units where you multiply by a power of 10 to convert a large unit to a smaller unit, for example 2.5 kg is 2500 g (multiply by 1000 or 103).
No. That principle applies for most unit conversions in the metric system, but not for all and it does not apply at all for imperial measurements.
The metric unit for measuring mass is the kilogram (kg). Other common units include the gram (g) and the metric tonne (t).

what are you converting from...mm is a metric unit so it would be 16 milimeters, if you asked what is 1.6 feet or 1.6 litres or 1.6 inches, you need a unit of measurment to convert from.
