How to use metric scale?

In: Technology, How-To [Edit categories]

Answer:

Millimeter= 1/10 of a centimeter
Centimeter= 1/10 of a decimeter
Decimeter= 10 centimeters
Meter= 100 centimeters
Kilometer= 1000 meters

A meter is just more than a yard.
A kilometer is just over a mile.
A decimeter is 3 and 15/16 of an inch.
A centimeter is 3/8 of an inch.
A millimeter is tiny.

10 millimeters= 1 centimeter
10 centimeters= 1 decimeter
10 decimeters= 1 meter
100 meters= 1 kilometer

The metric system goes by tens basically. Hope it helps!
