The metric system of measurement was developed in France during Napoleon's reign It is based on what multiplication factor?
The metric system of measurement is based on a multiplication factor of 10. This means that each unit within the system is either 10 times smaller or larger than the unit above or below it. This system makes conversions between different units easy and consistent.
If you convert from a centi metric unit to a milli metric unit are you going to a smaller unit or a larger unit in size?
1 centi is 10 times more than 1 milli. 1 milli is 1/10 of 1 centi. What helps me to remember is that one millimeter is a lot smaller (1/10) than a centimeter, so it takes more millimeters (10) to make one centimeter.
