Metric Units & Converting Between Them

You can convert between the various different sizes by merely moving the decimal point the correct number of places. The basic metric units are meters (for length), grams (for mass or weight), and liters (for volume). And the different units convert into one another rather nicely, with one milliliter equalling one cubic centimeter (the "cc" of medical shows on television) and one gram being the weight of one cc of water. There are many metric-unit prefixes, but the usual ones required in school are these: kilo-, hecto-, deka-, deci-, centi-, and milli-.

To remember the prefixes in order, you can use the following sentence: King Henry Doesn't [Usually] Drink Chocolate Milk. The Metric System. The Metric System By the eighteenth century, dozens of different units of measurement were commonly used throughout the world.
