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).
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.
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.
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.
1 meter = 10 decimeters
The prefix "kilo" means 1000; the prefix "milli" (in millimeters, abbreviated mm) means 1/1000. Therefore, to convert from km to mm, you multiply by a million.
Deci is the si prefix for one tenth, eg. a decilitre is 0.1litre. It's not really used much, most si units stick to thousands; milli, micro, kilo, mega.
It is kilo, not killo. milli = 1/1000 and kilo = 1000 so a kilo represents a much bigger amount.
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.
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.
The prefix "milli-" means 1000th. A millimeter is 1000th of a meter.
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.
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.
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.
1 decimetre = 0.1 metres.
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.
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.
