Metric Units
Length
10 millimeters (mm) = 1 centimeter (cm)
Weight
10 milligrams (mg) = 1 centigram (cg)
10 centimeters (cm) = 1 decimeter (dm) = 100 millimeters (mm)
10 centigrams (cg) = 1 decigram (dg) = 100 milligrams (mg)
10 decimeters (dm) = 1 meter (m) = 1000 millimeters (mm)
10 decigrams (dg) = 1 gram (g) = 1000 milligrams (mg)
10 meters (m) = 1 decameter (dam)
10 grams (g) = 1 decagram (dag)
10 decameters (dam) = 1 hectometer (hm) =100 meters (m)
10 decagrams (dag) = 1 hectogram (hg) = 100 grams (g)
10 hectometers (hm) = 1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m)
10 hectograms (hg) = 1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g)
Area
1 square meter (m2) = 100 square decimeters (dm2)
1 hectare (ha) = 100 ares (a )
1000 kilograms (kg) = 1 mega gram (Mg) or metric ton
1 square decimeter (dm2) = 100 square centimeters (cm2)
Capacity
10 milliliters (mL) = 1 centiliter (cL)
1 are ( a ) = 100 square meters (m2)
10 centiliters (cL) = 1 deciliter (dL) = 100 milliliters (mL)
10 deciliters (dL) = 1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL)
1 square kilometer (km2) = 100 hectares (ha)
10 liters (L) = 1 dekaliter (daL)
Volume
1 cubic meter (m3) = 1000 cubic decimeters (dm3)
10 dekaliters (daL) =1 hectoliter (hL) =100 liters (L)
1 cubic decimeter (dm3) = 1000 cubic centimeters (cm3)
10 hectoliters (hL) =1 kiloliter (kL) =1000 liters (L)
1 cubic centimeter (cm3) = 1000 cubic millimeters (mm3)
Temp
Degrees Celsius (0C)
1 liter / litre (L) = .001 cubic meters (m3)
