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.
The prefixes in the metric system indicate a multiple or fraction of a base unit. For example, "kilo-" means 1000 times, "centi-" means 1/100th, and "mega-" means 1 million times. These prefixes help simplify numerical values when working with very large or very small measurements.
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.
1 decimeter= 10cm 1 decimeter= 0.1m
