Metric Measurement System
Length 10 millimeters (mm) = 1 centimeter (cm)
10 centimeters (cm) = 1 decimeter (dm) = 100 millimeters (mm)
10 decimeters (dm) = 1 meter (m) = 1000 millimeters (mm)
10 meters (m) = 1 decameter (dam)
10 decameters (dam) = 1 hectometer (hm) =100 meters (m)
10 hectometers (hm) = 1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m)
Area 1 square meter = 100 square decimeters
1 square decimeter = 100 square centimeters
1 are ( a ) = 100 square meters
1 hectare (ha) = 100 ares (a )
1 square kilometer = 100 hectares
Volume 1 cubic meter = 1000 cubic decimeters
1 cubic decimeter = 1000 cubic centimeters
1 cubic centimeter = 1000 cubic millimeters
1 liter / litre = .001 cubic meters
Weight 10 milligrams (mg) = 1 centigram (cg)
10 centigrams (cg) = 1 decigram (dg) = 100 milligrams (mg)
10 decigrams (dg) = 1 gram (g) = 1000 milligrams (mg)
10 grams (g) = 1 decagram (dag)
10 decagrams (deg) = 1 hectogram (hg) = 100 grams (g)
10 hectograms (hg) = 1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g)
1000 kilograms (kg) = 1 mega gram (Mg) or metric ton (t)
Capacity 10 milliliters (mL) = 1 centiliter (cL)
10 centiliters = 1 deciliter = 100 milliliters
10 deciliters = 1 liter = 1000 milliliters
10 liters = 1 dekaliter (daL)
10 dekaliters (daL) =1 hectoliter (hL) =100 liters
10 hectoliters (hL) =1 kiloliter (kL) =1000 liters
Temp Degrees Celsius (⁰C)
