This is the way i convert . K H D B D C M K=Kilo(meters) H=Hecto(meters) D=Deci(meters) B=Basic Unit(Meters in this case) D=Decka(meters) C=Centi(meters) M=Milli(meters) I remember this order by saying "King Henry Died By Drinking Chocolate Milk." So know lets convert. If you wanted to convert meters into millimeters(B to M) then you would see it is 3 letters to the right.(K H D B D C M)So all you do is take your Measurement in meters(lets say 23.447m) all you would do is move the decimal 3 places to the right. (So now it would be 23.447) But if you wanted to convert meters to kilometers, then you know K is three places to the left of B. So all you do is move your decimal 3 places to the right.(0.023447 Would be meters converted into kilometers.

How can you convert one unit of measure to another?
Dimensional analysis
How do you convert from one metric unit to another?
From centimeter to meter, you move the decimal one place to the right, and vice versa.
How do you convert units within the metric system?
You can use one of the online converter for example http://www.unitarium.com to "convert units within the metric system"
How do you convert cubic feet to dry metric tons?
You do not. A metric cube is a measure of volume. A metric tonne is a measure of mass. The two measure different things and,according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.
How would you convert from one unit of measure to another in the metric system?
move the decimal point the the correct spot
How do you convert 497 newton into metric tons?
A Newton is a measure of force, a metric ton is a measure of mass. The two measure different things and there is no direct conversion from one to the other.
PLEASE answer How do you convert one metric unit to another metric unit?
There isn't any one general answer. It depends on what unit you want to convert to what other unit.
How do you convert measurements from one level of the metric system to another level of the metric system?
Multiply or divide by a power of 10.
Why do scientist find it helpful to use metric system?
Metric units that measure the same thing can convert into one another through powers of ten. For example 1 kilometer is 1,000 meters. This standard makes unit conversions easy.
How can you convert one unit of measure to another?
Dimensional analysis
How is converting one unit of measure similar to converting to another unit of measure?
You don't really "convert a unit of measurement"; you convert from one unit to another. The two - "from" and "to" are always required.
What metric unit would you use to measure the distance from one city to another?
kilometers
How do you convert from one metric unit to another?
From centimeter to meter, you move the decimal one place to the right, and vice versa.
What is an exchange from one unit measure to another?
That means that if you have a measurement in one unit, you convert it to another unit. For example, if a measurement is given in millimeters, you may need to convert it to meters.
How many pounds is 29 liters?
Pounds measure weight, and liters measure volume. You cannot convert from one to another.
How do you convert one metric unit to another metric unit?
Well, the only time you'd use this is in displacement of an irregular solid to find its density. In that case, if a liquid got displaced 200ml, you can convert it to cm3 like this: 200ml=200cm3
