Smaller
Measurement from a centimeter |

Remember, milli
is the prefix meaning
1 one thousandth (0.001).
So 1 one thousandth of the base unit meter,
being 1 millimeter is
simply written 1 mm

Larger
Measurement from a centimeter
|
|
|
Remember meter
is the base unit for Length
and all other Units are derived from it.
There are exactly 100 cm (centimeters)
in 1 m (meter)
and there are exactly 1000 mm"
(millimetres in 1 m (meter)

Larger
Measurement from a meter

Remember, kilo
is the prefix meaning
1000 times as much.
So, one thousand meters (1000 m) being
the length of 1 kilometer,
is simply written 1 km which is pronounced
"KILL-oh-meet-ur" NOT "kill-AH-mit-ur".
