…using dimensional analysis

2. You need to learn the following:
1 meter (m)= 10 decimeters (dm)
1 meter (m)= 100 centimeters (cm)
1 meter (m) = 1000 millimeters (mm)
1liter (L) = 10 deciliters (dL)
1 liter (L) = 100 centiliters (cL)
1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL)
1 gram (g) = 10 decigrams (dg)
1 gram (g) = 100 centigrams (cg)
1 gram (g) = 1000 milligrams (mg)
deci = 10
centi = 100
milli = 1000

3. Other conversions to know
1 kilometer (km)= 1000 meters (m) 1 kiloliter (kL) = 1000 liters (L) 1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g)
kilo = contains 1000
