10 millimeters (mm) = 1 centimeter (cm)
10 centimeters (cm) = 1 decimeter (dm)
10 decimeters (dm) = 1 meter (m)
10 meters (m) = 1 dekameter (dam)
10 dekameters (dam) = 1 hectometer (hm)
10 hectometers (hm) = 1 kilometer (km)
1 centimeter (cm) = 10 millimeters (mm)
1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm) = 1,000 millimeters (mm)
1 kilometer (km) = 1,000 meters (m) |
| Capacity |
10 milliliters (mL) = 1 centiliter (cL)
10 centiliters (cL) = 1 deciliter (dL)
10 deciliters (dL) = 1 liter (L)
10 liters (L) = 1 dekaliter (daL)
10 dekaliters (daL) = 1 hectoliter (hL)
10 hectoliters (hL) = 1 kiloliter (kL |
| Mass |
10 milligrams (mg) = 1 centigram (cg)
10 centigrams (cg) = 1 decigram (dg)
10 decigrams (dg) = 1 gram (g)
10 grams (g) = 1 dekagram (dag)
10 dekagrams (dag) = 1 hectogram (hg)
10 hectograms (hg) = 1 kilogram (kg)
1,000 kilograms (kg) = 1 metric ton (t) |

The
conversion rules are the same for all of these units.
circle the unit you are starting with
circle the unit you are converting to
count the number of units left or right and move the decimal the same
number of spaces.
Example:
32.5 km = __________ cm
To get from km to cm, you are moving 5 spaces to the right. When we
move the decimal 5 decimal places to the right in 32.5 we have the following conversion:
32.5 km = 3 250 000 cm |
