Making conversions with the metric system.

Example

Here is the metric system broken down:The base for length is meters.The base for capacity is liters. The base for mass is the grams. Then you add on prefixes to change its value: Milli-thousandth. Centi-hundredth. Deci-tenth. Kilo-thousand. See the table below to help you make conversions:

kilo*1000=base*10=Deci*10=centi*10=milli

milli/10=centi/10=Deci/10=base/1000=kilo

An example would be 10 kilometers=? meters.

You would find this by multiplying 10 by 1000 which would give you 10000.

Then the answer would be 10000 meters in 10 kilometers.
