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). 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.
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). 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.
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). 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.
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. Grams are three places to the right of kilograms. So you have to move the decimal place three times to the right (same as multiplying by 1000). You will get 11 kg = 11000 g.
