Why do you decrease the value if you use a larger unit and increase the value for a smaller unit?
Because, for any given amount, there are fewer larger units that will go into that amount.
Can you convert centimeters cubec to centimeters squared?
No. You can't just convert any unit to any other unit. The units must be of a compatible type. Thus, you can convert a unit of length to another unit of length, a unit of area to another unit of area, or a unit of volume to another unit of volume.No. You can't just convert any unit to any other unit.

When converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit why does the value of the measurement increase?
Because in any given measurement, there are more of the smaller units than bigger units. There are less than 2 metres in my height (1.78 m). But in a smaller unit, eg centimetre, there are is 178 of them. That is a staggering 1780000 micrometres tall :) But, then again, that is only 0.00178 kilometres :(
What is Dimension of speed?
The dimensions of speed are distance/time. Any unit of linear distance and any unit of time may be used.
Is the amount represented by 'deci-' larger than that by 'centi-'?
Yes. The prefixes 'deci-' and 'centi-' refer to given amounts of any unit of measure. In the case of 'deci-', it's one-tenth. In the case of 'centi-', it's one-hundredth. So the prefix 'deci-' refers to a larger amount under consideration than does the prefix 'centi-'.
